I'm sure I'll look dumb and everyone will know this site but, having started collecting frantically again to keep me out of mischief since Pete passed away I've been tending to want the original sleeves, where available, to go with my new toys - at least for my favourite purchases.

Lots on eBay of course, but I came across this site which is really excellent for checking what is the exactly correct sleeve for a given label in a given period. There is a spectacular number of labels on here - not just US, but UK, European and Australian:

Hope we're going to see you out and about, post covid, doing the Oxfordshire shuffle once more. 

Indeed you will once we're allowed - been very thin on the ground for a few years due to Pete's failing health meaning we couldn't go.
Hope you and your's are doing great AS.
