40/40
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
40/40 (originally subtitled The Best Selection) is a two-disc compilation by American pop group the Carpenters. The album features 40 songs which spans their entire career (10 of them were determined by Japanese fan voting), and first issued by Universal Japan on April 22, 2009 (forty years after they signed to A&M Records).[1] It was issued worldwide half a year later, leaving out its subtitle.
The cover art was taken from the photo sessions for the album Horizon showing a healthy and glowing Karen and Richard. A classic television advertising spot is currently running with the famous "Carpenters" logo featured prominently during the ad campaign. Included in this set is the original, long version of a UK top-10 hit "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft", and their last top-20 U.S. hit "Touch Me When We're Dancing".
In Japan, 40/40 received a commercial success upon its release. It debuted and peaked at the number-three on the Japanese Oricon, making them one of the Western artists who have most top-ten albums in the history of that country's chart (following Madonna and The Beatles, tying with Queen, The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney/Wings).[2] The album also charted in the UK, peaking at #21 in November 2009.
The original Japanese release was pressed on the SHM-CD (super high material cd) with improved sound, while the cheaper international edition was issued on the standard CD format. One other change is that the Japanese track listing included "Leave Yesterday Behind" while the standard worldwide release substituted "Touch Me When we're Dancing".
