Now & Then are respectively, the A-side and B-side of the fifth studio album by the American music duo the Carpenters, released on May 1, 1973. The album reached No. 2 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart on July 21, 1973, and ranked No. 20 on the Cash Box year-end pop albums chart. The title, suggested by Karen and Richard's mother Agnes, was taken from a leftover song that did not appear on the album.
