This is the first Carpenters set in some time that I've actually been excited to get. What I like is the fact that it's got a lot of "not-heard-a-million-times" songs mixed in with the hits, so it will make for a better casual listen. (I realize the chronological-order thing, but I still don't understand why RC always feels the need to stick the Christmas songs in with everything else -- but at least that's easily fixed for listening.)
Plus I'm excited to finally hear the non-DJ version of "Calling Occupants." It's funny -- I never get tired of hearing the DJ parts on the oldies medley, but that stuff on "Occupants" is like a fingernail on a chalkboard to me.
I have a feeling this was a "Hey, that's right, we haven't done that before" combined with a desire to help out PBS.
But as I remember, the "all done" comment was in a conversation where he was asked if there was anything left to be released.
Again, this was in relation to my question more specific to stuff that's never been released. Everything here has been released *somewhere*, and my question was more specific to new, never before heard unreleased stuff. Richard knew this was what I was referring to.
