Negative Positive
Title: SINGLES,YES-MAGNUM OPUS,NO!
Review: I would have to say that this is probably the worst Carpenters album you could buy.Most of Karen Carpenter's hit singles were not her best work,and combining alot of these klunkers on one album(sing,top of the world,please mr postman,etc.)makes a very monotonous listening experience.I also agree with the reviewer below,the remixes on this album are horrible.The structure and sound of the original recordings have been devastated.Skip this album-I would recommend the new ESSENTIAL COLLECTION,which contains many of the original recordings,plus alot of her great jazz material-This masquerade,Ordinary Fool,Little Girl Blue,A song for you,etc.Also,the remastering on ESSENTIAL is outstanding!
