Carpenters (Quad Mix) Top Of The World HD 1080
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Re-upped and tweaked, remastered from the CD-4 quad LP, with a master quality version of a performance on German TV, the quad mix actually uses Karen's original 1972 first vocal from the "A Song For You" album, but with the instrumentation overdubs done later when it was released as a single. This is the rarest version of the song. I hope you enjoy it.
I miss this woman’s voice. There will never be another Karen Carpenter.
She is the most beautiful girl in the world.
She looks great in this video. So sad she didn't think so.
The clarity is oustanding. Karen sounds like an angel coming through your headhpones. Wow!
I agree
Yes i was also surprised about the recordong quality..
This performance was playbacked. Everyone here knows Karen could've done it live but the ZDF didn't allow it and it's why you only see Richard and Karen here and not the rest of the musicians.
The best singing drummer of ALL TIME !!!!!
Best female drummer ever.
The most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
Awww. She’s so beautiful here. She may be thin, but still good looking. And she still has that spunky sparkle in her eyes.
Randomly remembered this song and her voice today. She passed away in 1983, just five years after this performance. She died from complications of anorexia nervosa. Looking at this video would make you think that she’s one of the happiest people on earth, singing a joyful song. Yet we have no idea the internal struggles someone is going through. It also makes me think that someone who struggles with mental health realizes the true value of carefree moments, when they feel at ease. Hence why she sings this song not just with her voice but also her heart. She was someone who knew the worth of joyful moments and happiness. Blissful moments when there is “not a cloud in the sky” and not a worry on the mind. A respite from one’s own internal struggles.
She was miserable because she couldn't find a man who really loved her if she could have she night still be alive
KAREN , YOU HAD A BEAUTIFUL VOICE. YOUR SINGING IS LIKE DOVE'S FROM HEAVEN!!!.
pedal steel guitar gives it a country twang! She used to say "yeeehah" when she sang it live. The greatest female voice in history
Forever the voice more sweet of the world Rest in peace Dear Karen Carpenter
the combination of Karen's voice and Richard's arranging was lightning in a bottle
A voice like this comes along maybe once in a generation.
It's been 3 generations and there hasn't been a voice to match hers.
There was a LONG version of this with a terrific solo on the steel guitar and it's no where to be found. That solo MADE this tune what it became.
Karen is one of the very few artists that have a perfect pitch voice. Her voice is the same in studio as live. No autotune back then.
Simply the best female pop singer of all time.......
What a wonderful woman she was.R.I.P Karen.
Quadraphonic sound puts you center stage. I can't believe it never took off! I have a 1974 setup from Sony and this mix sounds totally amazing.
FELICITACIONES ERES AFORTUNADO CON TU EQUIPO DE AUDIO...
This is so 👍good! I just get tired of hearing Richard's keyboard playing when he isn't hitting any keys LoL 😳
Wow I don't think I have seen Karen in HD before. It's like she's just right next to you - beautiful! Thanks for this
FUN FACT: On that same show, The Carpenters and Abba shared the same billing on that particular Episode. Where at the backstage, Richard and Karen first heard of Abba performed Thank You For The Music. As per Richard, he was amazed by that masterpiece and so they borrowed it afterwards to sing in a particular tv show. You can watch and see The Carpenter's version of that song and witness how good they were. But ofcourse, they admitted that no one could do it best like Abba. It was just so satisfying to see legends doing another legend's works with great respect and humility. And so, Hail to the Genuine Musicians!! Please, bring them back today, God of Music! 🙏🙏
Karen sang Thank you for the Music on the Tonight Show. It's here on RUclips, they even talk about just getting back from this particular show in Europe it was called Eurovision, it's a big thing they do in Europe every year.
This is the song living with me for ever.
One of my favorite artists, and the best version of this song i've found.
TY
She was an angel. Though she suffered much in this world, there is no way Heaven would deny that voice to praise God.
Era un Ángel cantando? La voz más dulce, tierna e increíble que jamás e escuchado. Gracias Karen
Too beautiful a voice, how I love carpenters with all my heart.
from Peru
wow what a sound! never heard this piece clearer
Miss you so much Karen.
RIP.
Always be Top of the World.
That was magnificent!! Also one of my favorite and uplifting songs by the Carpenters. Excellent fidelity to go with a crystal clear video. THANK YOU Motownboy!
Excellent, outstanding quality !
This is the best version I have found here on RUclips
She’s beautiful. And her voice is still the best ever.
A very rich and clear recording. very well done. I'm really impressed.
Outstanding video and audio quality. Thanks for another excellent video!
Yes, I was there when they were creating this wonderful music, and I still love it today. Karen and Richard were just fantastic and it's as fresh today as it was back then. Just wish there was more.
Wow!! Nice work...Thank you....Karen is greatly loved and missed.....
This track sounds amazing. I'm impressed at the quality.
Incredible sound !
to themotownboy1: thank you very much! overwhelming tone, nice pics + a beautiful karen!
All of your videos of the Carpenters are just fantastic. Thank you thank you thank you from a Carpenters fan from way back when!
Best audio i have heard of this track. Great !!!
This is live folks, not lipsync, like so many TV appearances go! No autotune either, just natural raw talent! Plus karen,s warm, downtime smile! What a true pop legend she was!
If ever an angel sung to you it
Would sound exactly like Karen Carpenter. ❤️
What a wonderfull sound its like an angel
Just didn't come any better than the Carpenters in discrete quad. Songs, vocals, production, just excellent!
இப்படி ஒரு மனம் மயக்கும் பாடல்... பிசிறு இல்லாத ஒலி நயம்... நானும் உலகின் உச்சிக்கே சென்ற அனுபவம் !
I've been looking for years for either HD film or video of the Carpenters without success until this video which has near HD characteristics. It seems all footage of them was NTSC or PAL quality. ABBA from the same era it seems has quite a bit of footage on film with HD quality in many cases.
Excellent audio and image, congrats!!!
This was played at my granny's funeral i miss her so much and wish i could say i love you one more time 😔
THE VOICE! THANK YOU👍🏻
Wonderful sound and visual. We're right with them!
I could only hope that the others on this site had the mastery of restoring such classics as you. I adore you, Motown Boy.... whoever you are.
Que voz tan hermosa, tersa y dulce. Seguramente Dios la integro directamente al coro de Angeles celestiales. Su voz no era de este mundo. Nunca más he escuchado una voz tan hermosa como la de Karen
This song makes me miss my daddy who's gone forever. I miss him
wow, this version is amazing. thank you!
This was the same version included in their 4-CD collection, From the Top.
Effortless thanks Kaz and the Carpenters, was depressed but got me through the rainy Monday xx
Another great recording .... Remastered to perfection .... You should post your picture so we have a face to put to the music....
I don't know how you do what you do, but I'm glad you're doing it.

When CD-4 and SQ Quadraphonic vinyl records were released in the seventies, variation to the music mix may occurred, sometime additional instruments and/or vocals in order to enhance the Quad listening experience. Some titles such as Aqualung LP by Jethro Tull, tracks such as Locomotive Breath & Aqualung, The Doors Greatest Hits LP tracks such as Riders On The Storm. The vinyl was usually pressed in Japan using heavier grade records at 180grams with emphases on noise reduction and special packaging. Japan at the time was a world leader in quality at a reasonable price point. As audio digital technology did not exist the analogue technology was close to being the best ever. Even now audiophiles seek analogue technology from the seventies either from Japan with some USA exceptions for equipment and records/content.
The Carpenters were part of A&M Records and from a Quad perspective were the CD-4 format, typically 4 discrete channels and were beautifully mixed with care, low distortion and attention to detail.
You can see in her hands how sick she really was. So incredibly sad 😔
◆ Fantastic ◆ 音が浮いてる ・・
尾上アキラ 日本人いた！
Sounds great ! Original version 1970.
Thanks.
Karen que te paso
Eras maravillosa
Me encanta esta canción!!!!! . tremenda letra
A brilliant vocal as always. I sometimes wonder how/why We've Only Just Begun, Superstar, Rainy Days and Mondays, Yesterday Once More, Hurting Each Other, For All We know, Only Yesterday and especially Goodbye to Love did not reach number 1 and Top of the World did! As Richard said, a catchy album track, but not one they thought would be a number 1 hit. This, along with Please Mr. Postman reached the top spot (and Close to You of course). I think the others, mentioned above, were far better songs. Such is timing, taste and what the radio stations pushed at the time. (That's not taking from this version which is crystal clear and well done by the poster!) Karen looks incredibly beautiful in this video. She had such an infectious smile - her beautiful brown eyes lit up her whole face. When she got really sick, this drained from her face. Such a shame she did not get a chance to recover and achieve some of her wishes in life like a happy marriage, kids, etc
They don’t make it like this no more smdh damn shame imo
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
Her hands show how cold 🥶 she must have felt. Blue hands come from eating too little amounts of calories. ❤️🎵 Love them, the Carpenters. My favourite song.
Nice sound.
