Carpenters The Ultimate Collection (Vol 1) Full Album Zip
Marybelle Bailey
My dad was a lifelong collector of all things Carpenters, and he asked me to help him find a new home for a massive collection. I'm hoping there is a serious Carpenters fan that sees this posting, as the goal is for this to go to someone who appreciates the band. This entire collection is being sold as a single lot and I will work with the buyer on the best way to ship, as this involves several heavy boxes that I will packs/ship per your requirements.
I started to catalog the LP's, and then realized this process would be a full time job when I got to the 45's. Following is what did I catalog, but included with this lot are: rare, foreign, sealed, test, promo pressings of most records; close to 300 qty 45's; vhs tapes of appearances, interviews & concerts; cassette tapes and 8-track; printed materials ranging from books to sheet music to magazines to movie scripts; fan club promo items and memorabilia; photographs; and random things like albums of bands doing Carpenters tributes. Basically this is a ready-to-go Carpenters museum. I'm happy to answer any questions you have, but please don't ask me to grade individual items, as it would take forever...the range is from very rare items in mint condition to stock records in rough shape.

I've got one on order, and I find it hard to complain about anything so well done. On the other hand, I was really hoping for a "complete official releases" box - meaning everything but the "Bootleg Series" and other archival releases - especially the soundtrack cuts and both sides of the "George Jackson" single. Seems like it would've all fit on just one more CD.....
Received mine today. Seems all the discs have been remastered for this set as they have have the text Bob Dyaln Complete Album Collection Vol 1 at the beginning of each disc as well as the text name for each song.
Also looked high and low for country it was manufactured in and could not find any made in.... On the package.
Any more info on what masters where used?
We can confirm that, outside of the newly-remastered titles, the other albums use their current "in-print" masters, whether that's the early '00s masters for the early albums or the existing transfers for the latter-day albums.
Shot Of Love is in fact remastered, not sure why the press release omitted that. The Self Portrait disc is identical to the one in the BS10 box except that the glitch in "Copper Kettle" has been fixed. There are rumors floating around that Modern Times and Time Out Of Mind are remasters, but they aren't -- they are digitally identical to the existing discs, as are all the ones (other than Shot) I checked not mentioned in the press release as being remastered. (I didn't check all of them.)
How extensive (if at all) is Heylin's book with regards to relevant session information? Recording dates and locations for Dylan's more recent studio work have been sometimes elusive, and I was just wondering if the book at all provides any new information. (For what it's worth, there was a "new" Basement Tape track--"Minstrel Boy"--on the "Another Self Portrait" box; it's a shame if the book is already out-of-date.)
Heylin's notes are detailed, typically opinionated, and a great read. However, there is no session information listed for each title...just the release date the original LP. Heylin does often refer to studios and recording dates within the body of his notes, but it's not a standard feature for each title. Hope this helps!
Thank you, Joe, I do appreciate it--lately I've notices what a valuable information resource certain booklets are--the "Tell Tale Signs" booklet had enough recording session info to where we now know more about when the "Time Out Of Mind" and "Love And Theft" outtakes were recorded than the stuff that actually made the album.
I'm hoping (almost certainly against hope) that the book with next week's ultra-deluxe "Tommy" box will finally provide a detailed sessionography, much as the Quadrophenia box did, but nobody yet seems to know one way or another.
Are there any dyed-in-the-wool Dylanphiles out there that can suggest the proper versions to keep? I loathe duplication in personal archives, and I now own the original 1999 remasters, 2010's The Original Mono Recordings, and now this box which arrived today. Bob's oeuvre is too massive for me to A-B, so I turn you those who might be better acquainted with the intricacies/variances of each title. I realize these three sets are different animals, still I want "definitive" versions. Any assistance through the glut of titles is greatly appreciated, and THANK YOU in advance.
I'm with you on that subject Eric - bit of a minefield. It pre-dates the new box, but there's a good article here which goes through the various mixes and remasters of each album, including the mono box, and the author gives his (reasoned) preference where alternates are/have been available
-uk/d94.html
I've emailed them asking if they'll be updating the article to include the new box.
Useful for me as most of my CDs are the original releases from the 80s which were improved on long ago (the main reason for buying this box really).
It would seem that the Devito remix of Street Legal is a keeper as the version in the box is seemingly the original muddier mix (although it's down to personal preference obviously). I'm also keeping Unplugged (would it have hurt to have used the European version with "Love Minus Zero" in the box?), Masterpieces and Biograph (the booklets are too nice to get rid of).
As for the newly remastered discs, they should sound pretty much the same as the current releases, just a bit louder. There's no indication that any remixing has happened, so you're probably safe to dispose of the originals.
I'm with you at nearly every point. I own a collection of Dylan CDs from the early 90s, so there are a lot of sound improvements for me at an affordable price. I only replace the old CDs but keep their cases except for Unplugged where I keep the CD which includes LMZ and Blonde On Blonde and Self Portrait where I have to keep the new sleeves since they suddenly appear to be two-CD-sets.
