I was just looking on Wikipedia, but apparently in Ireland "Make Believe" hit #20, while in the U.K. it hit #60. (It also hit #80 in Australia.) Apparently "All You Get" didn't chart in either (amongst Wiki's Commonwealth listings, it only charted Canada at #38 and Australia where it hit in the high 80's).The Yesterday Once More LP from UK/EMI
is the "winner" for me....
Classy Inside (great photos including a solo session shot)
and Out (Large Logo over 1975 Duo Silhouette).
Curiously, All You Get From Love Is A Love Song is not included on this compilation.
Also, reading on the Cover,
"26 Classics including... ...Make Believe It's Your First Time...."
which song I do not normally describe as being a 'classic' !
There's at least one more YESTERDAY ONCE MORE title. It was the separate karaoke album released in Japan:
Original Master Karaoke – Yesterday Once More
As I've mentioned elsewhere "The Singles 1974-1978" album was the first album I ever heard by the Carpenters, because that was the first CD they bought for their first CD player.I hadn't had my first CD player long and so excited about the chance of "at that time" so many CD releases to look forward to. I will never forget when I was at the mall in the record store where the display of CD releases were so very few. I'm guessing no more than 50 - 100 disc. After noticing how much they cost even for a single CD pricing around $25.00 each back then was kind of expensive. I'm thinking to myself, well, maybe as more come out, the price will drop hoping to buy more disc. My mother had purchased my first CD player as a birthday present and two CD's to listen to. They were Luther Vandross and a compilation disc. I don't think I slept that night not being able to tear myself away from the sound of familiar songs digitally. My next visit to the store to see what possible new CDs had been added and my eyes grew as big as 50cent coins as I saw that long box with the picture of Carpenters adorning the cover. I don't even think I looked at the song list or the price, I just made my way holding tightly to that thick double disc set to the counter. All I wanted to do was go home and put that CD in and hear for the very first time. I was about to hear my FAVORITE artist of my lifetime in the new digital technology. I was simply astonished how clean and beautiful each song sounded as they played. Karen's vocal was shimmering as beautiful as I'd ever remember hearing. I spent so much time listening to that disc. I guess the people at the record store got frustrated with my frequent calls asking if any more Carpenters disc had come in. That would be my first introduction to the glorious sound of how much better I thought these new shinny little disc sounded. Today, I couldn't even guess how many Carpenters disc I have in my collection. As far as I know, I have all the different mixes, imports, box sets ect. But, that beautiful blue cover of Yesterday Once More was the historic disc introducing me to the clear and beautiful recordings. It really was kind of like hearing them for the very first time all over again! I have had more fun searching for and collecting new releases. Trying to get all the studio albums took me two or three years if I'm remembering correct. But I always will cherish with my very first Double CD set called Yesterday Once More.
which version was this? the silver 1985 version? That cover is the best imho...

my CD version the case and booklet has the YOM artwork and booklet But the CDs are labeled Classics vol2
In the "albums" section of the Complete Recordings Resource, there is a photo of the advertisement for this album and the ad mentions the LP, CD, and cassette tape versions but no 8-track version available/mentioned.Does anyone know if the 85/Classics album was ever released on 8-track?
