Carpenters! From 1970-1981 or so, and every year at Christmas time, you simply cannot avoid those sultry tones, those wonderful arrangements, and those hit singles. They traveled from your ear to your heart to your lower GI and out. Only to return a few minutes later. This ”D-Sides, Orphans, and Oddities” gathers all the stuff I have. And not a minute more. Ok, I love that Suntory Pop jingle.
