Japanese CD release


This is a limited-edition re-release of the 22 Hits of the Carpenters Asian compilation, with the added bonus of a new version of the Original Master Karaoke CD.

The mastering of the 22 Hits CD is the same as on the 1995 version, so there is no difference there, but the Original Master Karaoke CD has had a new track added: "Sing." It was a karaoke mix created for a CD single that came out in 2003, and never before available on an album.

For those who do not have the long-out-of-print original karaoke disc already, this is a must, and even fans who already have the earlier version will want this one because of the new track.


Produced by Richard Carpenter, Karen Carpenter and Jack Daugherty
