Collecting records was just great but the obsessive in me still wasn't satisfied.

The logical extension was to start gathering up paper sleeves as well.

Some of my favourites.

Never twigged before that both these powerhouse labels bore the same street address (doh).

That's a serious proposal

If you want the sleeves you're welcome to them Andy.

When I get a decent amount I'll let you know.

British or American?

Hi Andy,

Need to find them but I got a boat load of sleeves from John at the Bowl and to be honest, as I'm selling pretty much all the stuff, I'll never use them. Got shed loads of Motown (Red, Blue, VIP, Gordy, White ,Sound Of..., Black Penny Farthing, Yellow Penny Farthing, Red Deck, and there's a couple of strange Tamla ones too). Also got quite a number of UK things. CBS sleeves, Virgin, Ensign. What are you looking for coz you can have them when I find them.

my fave

this brings up another issue with the sleeves. The tangerine one is nice because it's thick glossy paper. Usually when you get a record in the original company sleeve (which was printed on super thing paper), the sleeve is split and it's not a very effective way to hold the record. I'll usually throw it out and replace it with a heavy gold sleeve.

OK I won't chuck any more away!

Here's another Tangerine one, not as sexy as the picture sleeve.

Time to bang up some more as they say in Scunthorpe

Don't often see this one - because of the labels distribution with Warner Brothers I assume this sleeve came with the later releases on Loma.

Nice, real nice.

First done by The Del-Royals on Mercury in October 1969 then 10 years later Tyrone Barkley's version caused much excitement across dancefloors in the north of england and beyond.

Seem to think Lou Rawls had a go at the song on Capitol - he might have even done it first - but haven't heard it or know where it fits in the timeline of releases.

Before you die you need to hear The Del-Royals superb rendition.

Rarely find this UK sleeve

Such a pretty sleeve that makes me think of sunny days on the beach

Watching/listening to the film "The Thin Red Line" as I type.

Here's one you don't see too often ...

I got a george semper rhythm committee in a rama rama label sleeve that was pretty nice.

Derek, I got the sleeve you sent me, thanks so much! I will make you a CD to send back to you.

Just found a couple more sleeves I'd scanned but not uploaded.

Don't think I've seen one of these Power Exchange sleeves before, certainly never had one before. Shame somebody's taken a bite out of the corner. Gene Faith will look good with this wrapped 'round him.

One you don't see to oftern!

Nice topic!

I've got one when I found a copy of The O'Jays - Peace

I think all of my Power Exchange 45s have the cover........up until the label design changed anyway.

just dug up this one,

wise words, lol.
