I Know My First Name Is Stephen
I did not like the cover for SINGLES 1974-1978. I accidentally discovered it in a discount album bin and had flipped through the bin 3 times before I realized that this shiny gold cover belonged to a Carpenters album. When I got home, I decided to change it with a black ink pen and colored in the letters of the logo to make it stand out.
I've always hated that cover too. A gold foil design with a gold Carpenters logo? No thanks. It's barely noticeable who the artist is because you can hardly make out the name.
On a side note I also don't think the album should have started side 1 with two country songs. I think that was a big mistake stylistically. They should have swapped Jambalaya with Only Yesterday.
