There have been sightings of the commercial for Gold: 35th Anniversary Edition on Pax and ABC. I can't tell you much because I just saw the ending part of it. Watch for it

I saw the new A&M commercial for the Carpenters "Gold". The spot runs two minutes. It features clips of over 20 different songs (nothing new).
They mention the "three unreleased songs in the U.S." and play a clip of "Leave yesterday behind". The CD is $19.95, plus $5.00 shipping. If you order on TV, you get a poster as a free gift. The poster is the photo cover of "Carpenters classics".
It's a great spot and really helps cement K&R as musical leaders. I saw it on CBS overnight.

From your description I know the photo you mention - I have an original 8x 10 black and white of this shot, it's an alternate pose from the same session that spawned the cover of the UK 'Only Yesterday' collection, which reached the no.1 spot on the UK charts (what memories!!!). The same - or a very similar- picture also ended up on the cover of Lovelines.
For the record, I believe this session took place in late 1980/early 1981 (on the full wide shot, Karen is clearly seen to be wearing her wedding ring).
Also, if you compare the shot with the 'untouched' original published in the 5 CD readers digest CD booklet, you will see that Karen does not look so well - they airbrushed those shots (Karen's features more so than Richard's) to make her look more well than she really did.
