I think this 1970 LP from Germany is one of my favourites!
Thanks for your post, @Billy Rees! I have never seen that picture before...I've been collecting Carpenters picture sleeves (mostly 7" singles) for years, and as there were hardly any releases in the UK with them, most of them in my collection are from abroad... I think this 1970 LP from Germany is one of my favourites!

I’ve got the UK version of the 1974 Santa Claus single that uses the exact same artwork as the North American 45.That's an interesting sleeve shot for the 'We've Only Just Begun' single - presumably the photo's from 1969?
The UK was a bit behind other markets in giving singles picture sleeves - aside from the Christmas singles, I think 'Beechwood' and 'Make Believe...' were the first singles to get proper sleeves (I think it was the UK sleeve that gave the mistaken title 'Make Believe It's the First Time').
The Netherlands and Germany had picture sleeve singles much earlier than that, and of course Japan made a speciality out of them!

LOVE that sleeve cover! Is that an LP or a single? If it’s an LP what’s the tracklist?
I’d venture to guess that picture was taken the very same day as the back cover of ‘Offering’. Karen changed her clothes, but Richard is wearing the same shirt and their hair is pretty identical to that photo.
It's basically a slightly re-arranged version of the CLose To You album, with All Of My Life on there too!
Here's the back cover, which shows the tracklisting.

Based on your translation, it sounds like "All You Get From Love Is A Love Song"Which songs are on that single? The best that I can get for the Del Amor is “of love you only get” and “a love song”

They used a photo from 7 years earlier for AYGFLIALS? I was thinking it was from the CTY-Tan era (and I thought the title was two titles).Correct

Of course the Mexican version of “I Have You”, (Te Tengo) really sounds like a very upbeat tango song.Interestingly, Mexico went with a totally different translation for this single. “El Amor Es Una Cancion”, which translates as the more pronounceable “Love Is A Song”.
Carpenters - El Amor Es Una Cancion = All You Get From Love Is A Love Song
