Mook single? Tell us more please.
Will Randy's new book provide the answer to that which you seek? We shall wait and see.
It would be difficult, if not impossible to compile unless you had access to the multitracks boxes or other studio archival records which would list the recording dates for each track.
I think the earliest Carpenters song that has been released is Caravan, as that's from about 1956, while the Mook single of We'll Be Together/Don't Tell Me is from a year earlier.
I'll Never Fall In Love Again/ Love is Surrender were the first things tracked for CTY in Jan' 70.
Chris...You gotta spend an afternoon putting these dates on the site....Seriously, Id kill for this stuff.Actually, the rhythm tracks on both of these were recorded in November of '69 and the sweetening was not done until July of '70.

I would love to see the chronological list. I know these songs were a 'work in progress,' over days or weeks (or even months), but the main point of interest for every song is "when did Karen lay down this lead?" So I would love to see a chronological list with dates, based on when Karen actually recorded in the studio.
Does the song "Caravan" as done by the duo have its own thread (I searched but could not find)? Lately, I've been fascinated by this recording. Is that Karen sneezing at the beginning? I could swear I also hear sniffling and someone laughing.
I have been amused by that huge sneeze for a few years now and I’m dying to know who the culprit was. I just heard it again today and laughed out loud in public.
I’m pretty certain it’s Karen. In fact you can hear her giggling at one point a little further down the track ☺
An entire chronology would be incredibly fascinating.
Until then, the closest appears to be the cd set From The Top, as Richard Carpenter writes:
"67 selections presented chronologically from 1965-1982."
