I bought a couple of singles today…they turned out to be almost unplayable but they were in battered, though really good, record company generic sleeves. I know these were designed to be seen with labels visible in the centre…but the sleeves often become detached from the 45s that are supposed to be in them and so I thought it might be interesting to look at these overlooked objects in isolation. I wish the first CBS sleeve had contained a Thelonius Monk record and I am pretty sure I don’t own anything on the Rocket label. Here are 18 pulled out randomly…

Works of art and pieces of history in themself. I’ve got one that’s got an advert for a hair dryer on the back. Something like this although I’d need to dig it out to see if it’s the same one. http://yokono.co.uk/collection/beatles/uk/single/single_images/large_images/rain_sleeve_large.jpg
See my new post showing the hair dryer ad…
Yip, had a look and that’s the one I’ve got.
I’ll need to search for the one Yoko has…
