Free "classic pop albums" CDs with the Guardian

The Guardian are giving away "four of the most influential albums ever" over the next four weeks. It's a "collect vouchers" type thing - the CDs aren't in the papers.
The deal is you collect 4 front page logo strips (the bit that says "theguardian", remembering to include the date part) and send them off with the form inside the paper. All explained fully inside the paper.
This week is Stevie Wonder "Innvervisions", and I'm assuming this is the right order:
w/c 14th: Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground
w/c 21st: Marvin Gaye -What's Going on
w/c 28th: REM - Reckoning
You need to get 4 things from the same week to get one album.
(hope this hasn't been posted already/this is right forum!)

Does that mean we've missed the Marvin Gaye CD ?
Surprised it wasn't mentioned last week on MSE if your dates are correct.
Any idea what you do with the Guardian mastheads ?
Send them off week by week ?
Send off for all 4 CDs together ?
Is the form inside the paper going to be in more than once ?
Also is it an SAE or a cheque etc for P&P and what's the cost?There are 10 types of people in the world. ‹(•¿•)›(11)A104.28S94.98O112.46N86.73D101.02(12)J130.63F126.76M134.38A200.98M156.30J95.56J102.85A175.93

I'm pretty sure my order is correct - this seems to be the first one though in any case, so you've not missed it

send them off to the address on the coupon thing - page 14 ish of today's Guardian, but probably will be in every day
Send them off week by week ?
I think so, but not sure
Is the form inside the paper going to be in more than once ?
I imagine so
Also is it an SAE or a cheque etc for P&P and what's the cost?
Nothing about money mentioned so far, or even SAEs ...0 -
Cheers mate.
I'll dismantle a copy in the newsagents tomorrow (friendly bunch at my local) and see if i can find the form and all the terms & conditions.
Start collecting if I'm successful - all for free of course - aren't vouchers wonderful.There are 10 types of people in the world. ‹(•¿•)›(11)A104.28S94.98O112.46N86.73D101.02(12)J130.63F126.76M134.38A200.98M156.30J95.56J102.85A175.93

Fruitful visit to the newsagent today.
Searched the Guardian and couldn't find the form for this at first, even though there was a small advert on the front page for :
" Collect classic pop albums " - "This week STEVIE WONDER - INNERVISIONS "
Then realised it was the entire back page I was looking for.
EXCELLENT OFFER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Collect 4 different mastheads of the 5 available (Monday to Friday) and send them off FREEPOST, YES FREEPOST to receive the Stevie Wonder album. NO OTHER COST INVOLVED AT ALL !!!!
The way the text reads - this IS the 1st week of 4
QUOTE "Over the NEXT four weeks we are giving you the chance to add four key albums to your collection"
as previously listed the other 3 are
Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground and Nico
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
REM - ReckoningThere are 10 types of people in the world. ‹(•¿•)›(11)A104.28S94.98O112.46N86.73D101.02(12)J130.63F126.76M134.38A200.98M156.30J95.56J102.85A175.93

It is surprising low key - I read Monday's edition and completely missed it the first time. Any how, I sent my first set off yesterday ... think it'll be a proper CD case or sort of a paper cased version like the freebies you get actually in the paper ... hmm.
(I told a colleague about this offer and she pointed out that you can probably pick up these CDs pretty cheaply ... I doubt less that £2.40 though)0 -
Free CD this week is Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground. Starting collecting mastheads ...0
