40年40首留住世上最后经典。一部木匠兄妹音乐历程上最值得珍藏的回忆录- 理察卡本特

☆ 全美音乐史上最受欢迎抒情团体荣登葛莱美奖名人殿堂全球超过1亿张销售

☆ 理察卡本特亲自监制全新数位录音首度完整典藏40首回忆中的永恒旋律

1969年4月22日，凯伦跟理察卡本特签下第一只唱片合约，当年唱片公司老板对这对年轻兄妹说：「希望能有些排行佳作。」一年不到，排行榜上便出现冠军单曲"(They Long To Be) Close To You"，他们是木匠兄妹Carpenters，70年代美国最高销售纪录的艺人，也是音乐史上最畅销的乐团之一。在他们短暂14年的音乐生涯中，录制了11张专辑，却写下许多乐坛后辈难以望其项背的纪录！总计创造30首全美抒情榜TOP20单曲与18首全美热门单曲榜TOP20单曲，全球超过1亿张唱片销售天量，赢得3座葛莱美奖及1座全美音乐奖，以及难以估计的金唱片，更光荣入列好莱坞星光大道的「闪亮星」与葛莱美奖名人殿堂。

出道至今，40年过去，理察卡本特收拾起所有木匠岁月，从首发单曲"Ticket To Ride"到1982年凯伦卡本特人生最后录制作品"Now"一一整理。「世上能出现凯伦这样的歌声已经够不可思议，又有理察这位天才型音乐家，毫不费力的展露凯伦歌声长才，二人同时存在这世上的机率，是何等微乎其微！」理察卡本特念着跟随木匠40年的歌迷来信说着：「这个世上有几个歌手，能够从第一个音符就让人感动，我知道的只有凯伦卡本特了。」出道40周年40首经典，理察与凯伦的木匠兄妹，一部音乐历程上最值得珍藏的回忆录。

40/40 (originally subtitled The Best Selection) is a two-disc compilation by American pop group The Carpenters. The album features 40 songs which span 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). 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 television spot aired for the album, prominently featuring the famous "Carpenters" logo. 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 position on the Japanese Oricon, making them one of the Western artists with the 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). 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".
