Gold: 35th Anniversary Edition is a two-disc compilation released by the Carpenters in early 2004.
The cover has the same look as the 1992 Gold: Greatest Hits compilation album by ABBA. 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). It peaked at #4 on the UK Albums Chart. This version contained just one disc with 20 tracks, all of which were featured on the American version; it simply has "Greatest Hits" in place of where "35th Anniversary Edition" is on the US cover. An accompanying DVD followed in 2002. The album has sold 1,335,586 copies in the UK as of September 2016.
Most of the songs listed here are remixes. This compilation's songs have more refined and re-recorded tracks, less noise in the background, and a lot of reverberation in the background.
Some editions contain "Hurting Each Other" as a bonus track.
A Canadian release from A&M Records/Universal Music Canada is dated 2005 and is simply titled Gold, without a subtitle. The 22-page booklet has a colour photo cover, not the original black cover.
