The Singles: 1974–1978 is acompilation album by American pop duothe Carpenters featuring their singles released in the mentioned years.

Background

[edit]

Two of the included tracks ("Happy" and "Can't Smile Without You") were released as 'B' sides to the singles 'Only Yesterday' and 'Calling Occupants', while one commercial single ("Goofus") was omitted because the song was not released in the UK.

The song "I Won't Last a Day Without You" was originally recorded and released in 1972 on the albumA Song for You but was eventually released as a single in 1974 and included on this compilation.

Release

[edit]

The album was released internationally, reaching #2 on theUK Albums Chart, but the declining popularity of the Carpenters in the U.S. prevented a release in that country.^{[citation needed]}
