Summary: A Must See for the fans. :0)
Review: As a devote Carpenters fan I found this video to be absolutely beautiful. It's especially nice for those of us born to late to see Karen and Richard in concert or in their televison specials. A MUCH more personal collection than Interpretations, I DARE a true fan to see the end of this video for the first time and not cry. It was made only 2 years after Karen passed away and I see it as a moving and very sweet tribute to the woman who brought so much joy to the world with that voice.

Summary: Fantastic, but doesn't take advantage of DVD capabilities
Review: CARPENTERS-GOLD is simply a re-release of the VHS "Yesterday Once More", but with a 5.1 remix thrown in, and slightly better picture quality. These two extra features are good reason to buy the DVD, but not enough to justify the high price tag. What's really missing with this DVD? To begin with, A&M have failed to recognise the value of DVD techonology which allows for considerable space on the disc. Many more film clips could have been added, as well as a documentary ... but sadly none of these are provided. It really doesn't deserve the title of "Gold", perhaps "Silver plated" would be more fitting?Would love to see some real LIVE performances of Karen Carpenter. When are we getting a live DVD because material does exist.

Summary: Finally!...A CARPENTERS release for the USA!
Review: Fellow Carpenters Fans:
This is the DVD release of the "Yesterday Once More" video, just redesigned. The quality is excellant and if you're a Carpenters fan you'll LOVE IT! It's sad for us US Carpenters fans that they are no longer releasing newer material. "As Time Goes By" was the last release and it was only released in JAPAN, excuse me, but... I thought the Carpenters were born and started in the USA???
The last US release was the compilation CD "Singles 1969-1981", another compilation! Richard is currently working on a Christmas album. Let's hope the US will see this!
Always

Summary: Classic Carpenters!
Review: Great video. Video clips of most all of Karen and Richard's hits along with many previously unseen pictures. Close to You, We've Only Just Begun, Please MR Postman, Those Good Old Dreams and Many more! These clips span from their early days in the business (Ticket to Ride) where we see a young, very healthy Karen to the last "Carpenters" single, "Touch Me When We're Dancing" where one is struck by how thin and ill Karen looks. These clips were chosen by Richard and dedicated to Karen's memory, they are a touching tribute to a lady with a perfect velvet voice. She is greatly missed. END

Review: i am a very big fan of the carpenters. when i played this dvd, the sound is best in stereo. i whis that they remasterd the sound to 5.1 at least on the dvd. and had more extras on the disc.

Summary: This video stands the test of time
Review: I bought this video when it was first released in the VHS format. I still own and watch it. Instead of being critical of the fashion and haircuts etc of that decade, appreciate the video for what it is. A wonderful collection of music with many never before seen clips of the Carpenters. I am sure that if you check out the videos of any other musical group at the time, there would be things that seem out of place and silly. I say, be less critical Mr. Sam Graham and learn to appreciate true talent.
