Close To You yellow cover

[itovs]

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this for me.
When on holiday in Australia, I picked up a copy of the Close To You album but with a yellow cover rather than the standard grey one.
Is this how the album was released in Oz or something else?
Can't find any info about it.
Also can't seem to add a pic of it here so will try to make it my profile pic
Have been a fan since before I went to school, with Rainy Days still being my favourite song of all time.

There have been reports over the years of yellow-covered CLOSE TO YOU albums from Australia. Sounds liked you snagged one.

Thanks for at least making it visible for us, and welcome to the forum.

itovs has provided a larger scan of the yellow cover and I've added it to the Carpenters Complete Recording Resource on the CLOSE TO YOU album page.

Thanks itovs!
