Singles Picture Sleeves

[Toby]

For some reason, I just love the picture on some record sleeves, even if I don't know what the song is. However, I only buy them if they're in mint condition.

There's just so many rare records, one can hardly keep up. My mate knows this guy who collects all these records that he reads up on in a book. Nobody has even heard of them.

I don't buy 12" records, because they just take up too much space. I only live in a small bedroom, so you can hardly swing a cat in it.

Now, I've not heard Swinging Cats in a while, but I know who Stray Cats are.

Re: Picture sleeves.

You mean picture sleeves for singles such as these two?

I don't know why, but I like this classic single sleeve for Donovan's cult song.


This sleeve is pretty cool, too.

Re: Picture sleeves.

When I collect singles I typically collect 12" instead of 7".

I don't have one of these, but it's probably my favourite ever:

Got bored the other day, so I went around charity shops where they often have 7" singles in boxes. Not a collector of albums, though they also had those too.

Here are some of my favorites.

Linking the others, because they're too big.

Wow, I love retro and vintage art and these sleeves are awesome, especially "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes.

That might be a foreign pressing, as I looked on eBay and didn't find it listed.

I agree, it's smart!
