From the Top is a box set by the Carpenters, released in 1991.

Overview

The box set spans the duo's career from the early Richard Carpenter Trio recordings from 1965 to the final recordings in 1982 and claims to have 20 previously unreleased tracks and 40 remixes. Previously unreleased tracks include two songs from then unreleased Karen Karpenter's solo album, "My Body Keeps Changing My Mind" and "Still Crazy After All These Years". The songs in the box set are attributed to their original recording time or single release despite some of them being re-recordings ("Ticket to Ride") or later album releases ("Ordinary Fool", "If I Had You", "Now"). From the Top was revised with similar box set The Essential Collection: 1965–1997 in 2002.
