This auction is for a very rare, vintage 1960's  IDEAL record sleeve in new condition. This sleeve is from the IDEAL records manufacture warehouse and is an original issue. The back of the sleeve is blank because these copies were not finished and distributed.  I have multiple copies available.

This auction is for a record sleeve only, the record is not included.

Please ask questions before bidding.

Ideal Records was founded in 1946 and became one of the most influential regional recording companies for Mexican-American music. Over the next few decades, Ideal Records helped launch the careers of several important performers, including Narciso Martinez, Tony de la Rosa, Valerio Longoria, Conjunto Bernal, and Beto Villa.

The records I am selling were manufactured at the home of IDEAL recording Company in San Benito and packaged for distribution but never left the warehouse. Some were once sold at the Rio Grande Music Company store, which was owned by the owner and operator of the IDEAL label.
