This is all down to a site I looked at involving the years/history of the A&M label & its artists of which HAS been noted that its only recently the Carps got a mention on its walls of fame. This is just to pacify my interest so would be obliged if some of you lovely people in the USA could help me & put me mind at rest.::
In the UK as far as Im aware all the Carps singles released from Close to You - Jambalayou had the mustard green label. Then from I Wont Last a day - Beechwood had the Siver/grey with Gold letters on it. Then all other UK released singles had the Brown/Orange label with exception Close to You/Merry Xmas Darling which had a plastic silver label.
UK LPs Ticket to ride- A S 4 U Plus very early copies of N & T & 69 - 73 Had Mustard Green Labels. Later pressings of N & T & 69-73 and then Horizon had the Silvergrey with gold letters label. A K O H had a Personalised A&M label as did Passage & Yesterday Once More but all later Lps had the Silvergrey & gold letters A&M Label. What was the USA labels colourings?
Some of you bought Lps at the time of original release so you would have the authenticy..I started in 74-5 & it was ages b4 I started finding out info of them. So could you look at your LP labels when u get a sec & Singles too & let me know.
This is a Big Q for all in the USA & Carps1000 would be very grateful if any could answer this. I know that it sounds stupid but I want to know all I can about the Carpentetrs A&M Label history so I can at last get as far as poss my Carps Lps sorted & authentic as near as original a so as to be able to store em properbly as they are getting dusty & yellowed where they are & I wanna keep em, lookin decent for time to come. I thought I could do this now but recent events I have found out are making me realise that 1 or 2 things might not be so original as I once thought...hope 2 change that..thank god 4 Ebay. Thanks guys for your help. This is a serious issue of mine as I Love the Cs so much...I know men in white coats are screechin to a halt outside me house at this very moment. Thanks. Ken carps1000
