Classics, Volume 2

~ Release by Carpenters (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Classics Volume 2 is a re-release of the 1998 version of the compilation album Yesterday Once More (this has an extra track, "I Just Fall in Love Again", and a revised track order from the what was originally released in 1984). This that has been remastered in 24-bit sound with new notes by Paul Grein.

Carpenters were to be included in A&M’s 25th Anniversary series of discs, and there was no need to update it any further, so it was re-titled and re-packaged.
