ReplyDeletePost Card is the debut album by Mary Hopkin. It was produced by Paul McCartney and released by Apple Records. It reached number 3 in the UK and number 28 in the US.
It was originally hoped to release Post Card in time for the Christmas market, before being pushed back to early in the New Year of 1969. The album was eventually scheduled for release on 21 February 1969 in the UK.
A launch party took place at the Post Office Tower in London on 13 February 1969 which was attended by a number of rock stars including Jimi Hendrix, Brian Wilson, Eric Clapton, Donovan and McCartney. Hopkin was also presented with a gold, disc for one million sales of "Those Were the Days".
Post Card was released in the US on 3 March, ten days after its UK release. "Those Were the Days" was not included on the UK release of Post Card, but it was included on the North American release, replacing "Someone to Watch Over Me".
The album cover depicts a photograph of Hopkin taken by McCartney's future wife Linda Eastman at Kew Gardens. McCartney then asked postcard-making company Valentine's to make a limited edition of postcards with this picture.
