Remember The Carpenters? Love them or loathe them, nearly everyone does. No wedding 'bash' would be complete without one or two of their tunes - 'We've Only Just Begun' being the most obvious and probably the most played. When I was younger, I perceived them to be very uncool, but as I've aged (and mellowed?) I now appreciate what a great voice Karen had and what a good selector of songs and arrangement Richard is. Here we have a collection of The Carpenters greatest hits plus a couple I had not heard before (but I'm not a lifelong fan) presented in re-mixed 5-channel surround sound (as well as stereo) on an SACD. The sound quality is truly amazing - it has even convinced me that CDs CAN sound as good as vinyl! Each time I've listened, I've noticed something new and I keep going back to check what else there may be to find.Read full review
Rare out of print recording with fantastic audio quality. The Carpenters never sounded better!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Awesome sound, the best for the beautiful lush rich voice of Karen Carpenter. It seems the two track versions are original mixes, and the 5.1 version is the new mix Richard did in the early 2000's. I like them both, The new mix adds a few little triangle notes, etc. here and there, but nothing too different. Unless you compare the two you probably wouldn't notice the difference. I would highly recommend it if you a fan of their music at $ 30 - 40, but at $75+, I can't say its a value.

If you have a SACD player/5.1 channel system, you will love this recording. AMAZING sound!! the only way to listen to SACDs is with the proper setup, the Playstation 3 will play them if you get the proper receiver, one that decodes LPCM thru the HDMI cable, see ps3sacd.com for receivers that work, otherwise, get a SACD stand alone player and a 5.1 receiver/amp, see ebay, and ENJOY!!!!
Very happy with this purchase. Packaging was great. This SACD sound quality is amazing.
