Mike Blakesley said:Man, Harry, now you're making ME want this box. I had decided against it since I already have all the songs and I'm not a Carpenters 'completist,' but dang if this doesn't sound nice. (I'm a packaging nut, as many here probably know....the music is almost secondary!)

I have a question about that picture...
I don't see some of the sleeves from your picture in the picture below. Are they the reverse side of some of the singles?

About mono mix, UMJ does not think there was any Mono mix. If his memory serves him correct, A&M was making mono mix until probably 67 or 68. And by the time Carpenters debuted, there was only Stereo mix available. At least there was only Stereo mix appeared in Japan.

Chris-An Ordinary Fool said:Ok, this may sound like a dumb question but reading along in the lyric book provided, when I got to Disc 8, Maybe It's You, on the lyrics page it says for the chorus, 1st: Rising on the shore the ocean came, the 2nd chorus, Rising on the shore the ocean's king. Are these really the correct lyrics? In the Japan Treasures 2 Cd Set the lyric booklet for this song both say ocean's king. Misprint on the singles booklet?
Chris-An Ordinary Fool said:I Won't Last a Day Without You-Harry is right, we indeed have 2 different versions one on 12 and one on disc 16. Listen closely to the chorus and you will hear it. I also tend to want to say that the version on Disc 12 sounds ever so slightly slower to my ear. I did notice too that each clocks in at different times listening to the very last sound. Disc 12 at 3:52 and Disc 16 at 3:48, yes not much diff but yet I did notice.
Chris-An Ordinary Fool said:a question for those that have this set, what do I do with the OBI strip to keep it from getting creased or messed up (since it is not just the normal small OBI but attached to the photos on the back)..where to store it? I'd like to keep it looking nice.
