The Carpenters’ debut lp – Offering – was released today in 1969. Only their version of “Ticket to Ride” got any notice (#54 pop U.S.), but songs like “Eve” & “All of My Life” suggested bigger things were in store for the duo. Their label, A&M, quickly changed the album’s title to Ticket to Ride.

Curious vintage illustration as it is the uncouth fellow that is depicted as having a car, whilst the elegant gentleman recoils from its onslaught. The beautifully cynical alcoholic author, Patrick Hamilton, (1904-1962) having been run over in 1932, decried cars as a plague upon the world.
