I THINK I LOVE YOU

Let's talk about The Partridge Family. You know who they are; a family singing group fronted by the very attractive Shirley Jones. They were a TV sensation in the 70's and the show catapulted David Cassidy into glorious teen stardom and was safely nestled in between such teen heart throbs such as Davy Jones (#1 teen star of all time!) and Paul McCartney.

But I don't just want to talk about the Partridge Family in general. No, no, I want to talk about this:

This particular record was the Partridge Family's second effort. At best, it is a mediocre album and the production is not as tight as their first album. But still it's listenable and screw you haterz, I love it a lot. So there.


It looks like a fairly normal album, right? I mean, as normal as a album targeted to prepubescent tweens could be.


But wait! What's this!
Free bookcover inside! Holy moly! We better take a closer look at this.


OH YES. Will you just look at this wonderful, GLORIOUS book cover? It is everything a book cover should be.


It has a thoughtfully placed section for you to write all your school details, just in case you should feel so inclined to use this as a school book cover so you can have a picture of David with you at all times.


I love his handwriting. That is one screwy lowercase d.


Blinded by my eagerness to try out this glorious book cover, I grabbed the first hardcover in sight. I'm sorry, J.D. Salinger! I hope you understand.


I cannot tell you how exciting this was for me. I didn't trim the book cover because I wanted to preserve it in all it's glory, but it looks AMAZING just the same.


OH YES. Camp at it's finest.

So apparently their first album (The Partridge Family Album) included a colour picture of the group inside! I eagerly scoured my record case for it, but alas, it seems that it got lost and or destroyed. :(
