Hi Graeme, I agree with you that the labels detract from the appearance of the cover but I don't think it is something that should be considered by the cover designers. I suggest it is up to the stores to redesign or reposition their labels. There is no need for them to be quite so large. The rectangular one from Borders would clearly fit on any of the other three corners and it wouldn't be the end of the world if the circular one from HMV obscured Hayley's knee. If her face catches the eye, it is not in the stores' best interest to hide it. It would serve them right if you had turned the all over!  Even more annoying is that, once the album is bought, the proud owner spends ages peeling those labels off and even longer trying to remove all the sticky that is left behind. Then you can't open the jewel box because of the security seals. Grrr! Roger |

They prevented me to open the CD case and take out the CD! Although it is not a jewel box, I don't know there are so many sticky to prevent me listening to the album as fast as I can!  Raymond |

A 2-page promo folder from Sweden is currently being sold on Ebay. It's a press kit sent to Swedish retail stores for the cd-release of 'Treasure'. It looks very similar to the German edition; entitled "Treasure" but with the "Celtic Treasure" cover. |

Another promotional photo for the Japanese version of "Treasure". Initially found HERE. If you watch closely the top 5 albums (on the left of the page), you'll notice that Hayley is ranked #2 and #5 with two different versions of "Treasure". Way to go, Hayley !  |

Hi All, This really is a fantastic thread... i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif Stephany thank you for sourcing the details and pictures about the Japanese promotional items... Quite fascinating! Dori, I really like your Hayley CD display!  I have just applied your beach theme idea to the 'Treasure' cover to produce a image which looks a bit like a screen print/ collage . What do you think?  I really look forward to reading more about the promotion of 'Treasure' both here in the UK and overseas.... Incidentally I think 'Treasure' makes a perfect "desert island disc" don't you? Well done everyone... Keep up the great 'HWI' teamwork! Andrew |

"My precious Treasure!" i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifWho needs a ring to rule them all when you've got Hayley's albums?  |

I love the way you have made it look like a beach, Dori. And Gollum certainly doesn't want anyone to touch his treasure by the looks of it. |

Hi Andrew! I love your representation of Dori's "beach theme"... Hayley's music always brings a "tidal wave" of emotion! Yes, one of my "desert island discs"... I'll take Hayley's bio book and mp3 as my luxury item i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

I guess you'd be venturing along the lines of a "Pure Treasure Odyssey"...  How about we throw in a few chocolate "Bounty" bars for you too?   Andrew |

Hi Jon, Perhaps the treasure chest is full of 'Treasure' CDs which are ready to be shipped overseas for promotion? Right... That's us steered back on topic... Promotion of Hayley's 'Treasure' album! Sorry for the detour folks- I will accept full responsibility for that! Andrew |
