Hi everyone and a Happy New Year to you all !
So this will be my 3rd full year on board as a Carpenters fan (summer 2015 was when I first started) anyway in 2016 I saw some new stuff including many UK documentaries like "Karen Carpenter: Goodbye To Love" and "The Nations Favourite Carpenters Songs" (which I consider as one of the greatest Carpenters documentaries. Definitely up their with "Close To You Remembering The Carpenters) and a CD of the same name. There was also the Christmas Memories DVD.
2017 didn't see too much in terms of new Documentaries except a Japanese one but we got a lot of new releases which gave us a lot to talk about ! This included a new Vinyl box set, a double LP 'Collection' and a few reissues notably the "Sweet Memory" set.
So what's ahead for 2018?
Has anyone heard any news or rumours?
As always I would love some new songs (as I'm sure everyone here would) but I know people have been wishing for that for many years to no avail. So what is more realistic? Well if 2017 has taught us anything is that Vinyl is back in business ! Could we be seeing more vinyl releases? Hopefully the Christmas albums will see a release, following on the album Vinyl box set I would love to see a Singles box set. Just like the Japanese CD one but as 45 singles!
2018 should hopefully bring a whole lot of new threads for us !
