Many have complained that the tracks were fine as they were and I certainly agree, but those tracks will always be around, so purists will always have those. Changing the tracks was never the point of the exercise, but it was certainly a good excuse for Richard to get rid of some issues, that have bothered him over the years.Personally, I think they did a great job, without over doing it. When the cd was released, it was great to hear that a few months later, the vinyl release would follow, both in black vinyl and white, HOWEVER, Richard had decided that he wanted to `tweak` a couple of the tracks still further, which eventually caused the release to be delayed by some 6-7 months. This initially bothered me, because what I wanted was a vinyl release `true` to the cd, not effectively a different album, but given it wasn't released, this was going to prove difficult, however, in Aug 2019, I was lucky enough to come across a copy on Ebay, albeit almost double the cost it would have been, so I`m really happy that I managed to get this album, which could turn out to be pretty rare!!Fast forward a month and we now have the vinyl release with the revised tracks. I have to say, I think Richard should have left things how they were, those tambourines on two of the tracks are just to much and I personally don`t like them, but that aside, I still love these tracks :)My biggest disappointment, is the quality control that Universal Music have. Following the issues with the 12 album set and the issues with that, which was so bad the set was withdrawn from production, here we are over a year later and I`m reading about buyers suffering the same issues again, such as poor spindle holes, torn labels, chunks missing on edges and scratchy sounds from the vinyl. Luckily, my set arrived with just `untidy` spindle holes, which aren't bad enough to return, just to be sent another set as bad or worse, but this is really poor service from Universal, not just to it`s products, but to it`s customers. They really need to get a handle on this situation, because in any line of business, this is simply unacceptable, especially when artists rely on the sales of these items for their income! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfection improved - a gorgeous album *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 7 December 2018* Didn’t know what to expect with this album as the cherished original recordings are so perfect. However - on first listen the words spectacular and gorgeous were mumbled repeatedly as I listened. Tone wise it’s close to their Christmas albums with some new and beautiful interludes between tracks - and it is an album that’s best listened through start to finish rather than a collection of hits you can dip into.Yes some of the tracks are very close to the originals but why not when those originals were so perfect. I Just Fall In Love Again has always been a personal favourite and this recording is so much more open than the original.Overall it’s different enough to be fresh, but similar enough to still keep the carpenters sound. For me this album, more than any other, shows both of the Carpenters talents in full - Richards brilliance as an arranger, orchestrator and pianist - and Karen’s perfection as a singer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful music, but the question remains .... *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 7 December 2018* There are so many of these albums where deceased vocalists are re-imagined with the backing of the RPO. The question is always whether it was all worth the effort.With most vocalists, I would say definitely NO. With Karen Carpenter, my answer is that the jury in this bloke's mind is still out. It doesn't stop me from giving this five stars because the music is so wonderful - all eighteen tracks on the one disc add up to 66 minutes and it is almost perfection (except the tamborine on "Top Of The World" - I jest not, it annoyed me). Apart from that one irritation, everything else works.However, I still ask the question - was it worth it? A few more listens should give me the answer, but the orchestra is very tasteful and beautifully sounding with Karen's voice and Richard's arrangements being perfection. ## Frequently Bought Together - Carpenters With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Classic Diamonds With The London Symphony Orchestra - The Beach Boys With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/87181028-carpenters-with-the-royal-philharmonic-orchestra](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/87181028-carpenters-with-the-royal-philharmonic-orchestra) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
