The Ultimate Collection

~ Release by Carpenters (see all versions of this release, 4 available)

Annotation

The Netherlands release is a complete original-mix compilation. The recordings are all from the Remastered Classics series of albums, thus none are remixed; all are original album versions and are in something close to chronological order.
(And the tracklist-recording connections need to be corrected.)
