THE SINGLES 1969 - 1973 (Original release, 1973)


CARPENTERS COLLECTED, issued in 2013, is essentially a reissue of the 2006 set called ULTIMATE COLLECTION. Both sets originate from Universal Netherlands, but the earlier one was withdrawn quickly after its initial issue. There's also a UK version named Collected, but contains remixes and lesser tracks.
The thrust of this set is that 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. There are two discs of Carpenters material, virtually all singles (even “Goofus”!), and a short third disc containing a few solo tracks.

In short, the Carpenters reissue/remaster history is a nightmare if you want original recordings, pretty much the bulk of all anthologies contain remixes, and also their albums, except the Remastered Classics series.
