"When I was younger (much younger) I used to record The Carpenter specials on television i.e. valentines, christmas and whatever onto an old mono reel-to-reel. I listened to them until they were worn out. I waited many years to see if any of the music came out on stereo cassette or other media. Other than the Christmas music, none of the other music was out for sale. There was John Davidson, Ella Fitzgerald, Jimmy & Christi McNichol, Georgia Engal, Victor Borge and even John Denver amoungst others. I found out recently that The Carpenters had a new CD out. I was elated! I could'nt wait to hear what was on it. I was'nt dissapointed. I hope Richard put's out other Gem's as well (Good Vibrations/Coming through the rye).
As Time Goes By is absolutely eloquent, a real treasure to keep. If you like Richard and Karen's music you'll love this CD. Perhaps someday, Rich will put this out on a DVD. Simply fantastic!"
Always will be a Carpenters fan!

"We all know Karen Carpenter is the greatest female vocalist of all time. An for songs that have been stored up for more than 25 years and released in 2004. They still sound fresh as of today. Karen's voice is so special to me and millions of fans. From the Rainbow Connection to Dancing In The Street, these records from the Carpenters are classic. The Hits Medley would have to be my favorite track on the entire album. If you had never seen the Carpenters live, this gives you an idea of what they were like with thousands of fans in the audience. I wish Karen was still with us today, she would still making more beautiful music. Hopefully Richard has more songs stored up to release to us long time Carpenters fans! I recommend this album to you!"
