L.A. (Light Album) postcards and posters

[bgas]

There was a postcard for each tune, for the group name, and album title.  My old friend John Kinsella mounted them on blocks of stained wood for me.

Thanks, Peter. I still find it curious that many of these postcards were sold as an incomplete set of 9, usually with the same three titles missing (Goin' South, Angel Come Home, and Full Sail). Until recently, there was uncertainty as to the existence of a full set which thankfully has now been confirmed.

I don't think the cards were for sale. They were promo items, like the posters were for the record stores. Possibly to accompany something, like the album or single for DJ's or posters or the press kit (which I also just saw on Ebay). Mine didn't come in a special envelope like Bgas's did.

Oh I agree; these were definitely not for sale originally. They were promo items. The two sets I have were mailed out to folks in the business. One of them to a record store, the other to a magazine publisher( I think). At this point I doubt we'll ever know why most of the sets came with only 9 cards, but it seems they did.  I'm certain that the set sent to the record store was just the 9. I suppose it's possible the other set was complete and that guy simply wanted to keep the three Carl postcards. Not impossoble. 
 Nice of Peter to confirm what we had just confirmed.

Thanks, Mikie. What I should have said was that these postcards are being listed by sellers on ebay etc. more often than not as incomplete sets. Nevertheless, it's good to know that all 12 postcards are available (somewhat).

What he said.  Now if you can only find one of each of the three postcards for you and me, we'll have whirled peas!
