The Carpenters - Carpenters Gold (35th Anniversary Edition, 2 CD) [FLAC]

Gold: 35th Anniversary Edition is a two-disc compilation released by the Carpenters in early 2004.

The album is essentially the expanded US release of a European compilation released in 2000, titled Gold: Greatest Hits (the same title as ABBA's), which peaked at #4 on the UK Albums Chart. That version contained just one disc with 20 tracks, all of which were also featured on this American version. The covers of both releases have the same look as the 1992 Gold: Greatest Hits compilation album by ABBA. The original cover artwork had "Greatest Hits" in place of where "35th Anniversary Edition" is on the US cover. An accompanying DVD followed in 2002.

Yes - Time and a Word (1970/2013) [24-192]

Time and a Word is the second studio album by English rock band Yes, released on 24 July 1970 by Atlantic Records. It was put together several months after the release of the band's 1969 eponymous debut, during which they continued to tour heavily and recorded Time and a Word during gaps between shows.

A small orchestra of brass and string session musicians was used on most of the album's songs.
