Album Stickers/ what do you collect?

[abbafanusa]

I'm on a new mission. I'm trying to get hold of sealed albums that have promotional stickers on them. One's that usually say "...includes the hit single" I've managed to get hold of :

Close To You (contains the new hit single "We've Only Just Begun")
Carpenters (includes "Superstar" "Rainy Days And Mondays" "For All We Know")
A Song For You (It has a heart shaped photo and heart shaped song list sticker)
The Singles 1969-1973 ( 2 stickers- Includes "Top Of The World" & BIG tracklist sticker)
Voice Of The Heart (includes "Make Believe It's Your First Time")

I've seen ones for all the other original albums except for 'Ticket To Ride' & 'Made In America'
I doubt 'Ticket' had one since it was a reissue of sorts and trying to find a sealed copy of 'Offering' let alone one with a sticker might as well be an event in the next Olympics.

Does anyone else collect these or do you specialize in another type of Carpenters collectable?

Excellent PEPE... sounds like you have a great collection going. As far as I remember there are two different stickers for "Horizon". One is a white sticker listing "Please Mr. Postman" and "Only Yesterday", the other is a clear sticker with the famous Carpenters logo.

I'm working on collecting Carpenters tour/music books. Each year from 1971 to 1976 they released a booklet - they coincided with each album release. I had a few - but they have somehow disappeared. The ones I still have are for the albums "Horizon" and "A Kind Of Hush".

Cool, Rick! Songbooks are very nice to have. I also love collecting sheet music and full page magazine ads for each album & single.
