Free Music Notes for As Time Goes By
Free Music Review: Gem's from the past !
Hit: 5 Stars
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!

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!Free Music Review: A Long Time Carpenters Fan
Hit: 5 Stars
Being a long time Carpenters fan, there was never any doubt that I would buy the CD. I was disappointed the first time I played the CD because it contained quite a few medleys ... I wanted to hear her sing the ENTIRE song. By the second and MANY subsequent playing of the CD, I'm glad I have the CD! No one today can beat her singing .. effortless .. such range. The CD contains songs never recorded before (because they are from their video) .. the only song that didn't seem to feel right is California Dreaming. Loved her duet with Ella Fitzgerald; the mixture with Perry Como and Richard is not bad; You're Just In Love is fun. I also recently bought their Gold 35th Anniversary Collection .. I recommend it too.Free Music Review: Wonderful Surprise

I just found this CD. Didn't realize it had been released. What a wonderful surprise!. Karen's voice can do no wrong and she always manages to touch my heart. Richard put a lot of hard work and obvious love in putting this CD together. Read the liner notes. It explains where each track originated from. Most are from their TV shows or other un-released demos, etc... Not 'rejects' as an earlier reviewer mentioned. As Richard says if you are new to the Carpenters, buy one of their other 'best of compilations. If you are a Carpenters fan buy this CD! Richard, if you're reading, keep the music coming. Thanks.Free Music Review: excellent superb Carpenters album !
Hit: 5 Stars
Richard went into the vaults, all them tv specials that had great duos and medleys and re-recorded the instrumentation in stereo!
Some of the highlights is a 1980 medley Karen sang with Ella Fitzgerald!
Another is a excellent medley with Perry Como.
A fantastic version of "California Dreaming" that Richard restored from a late 1967 demo, truly a masterpiece.
This actually is one of the most complete better albums in the Carpteners catalog.
You will enjoy this truly work of art. Enjoy!
