BACK IN THE 1950S & 60S, A LOT OF THE TOP 40 HITS WERE ON SMALL REGIONAL RECORD LABELS. THEY WERE ON A SMALL BUDGET AND A LOT OF THEM DID NOT HAVE A COMPANY RECORD SLEEVE LIKE THE LARGER LABELS HAD. A COMPANY SLEEVE HAD A HOLE FOR THE RECORD LABEL DIE CUT IN IT AND HAD THE COMPANY LOGO AND USUALLY SOME ADVERTISING FOR THEIR ARTISTS. I HAVE CREATED FANTASY SLEEVES FOR THESE NOW DEFUNCT LABELS, BASED ON WHAT I THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE HAD THEY ACTUALLY HAD THESE COMPANY SLEEVES. THEY ARE NEW AND PRINTED ON THE LIGHT WEIGHT BROWN KRAFT PAPER USED IN THOSE DAYS, THAT I PURCHASE FROM BAGS UNLIMITED OUT OF NEW YORK. THE SLEEVES ARE PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES. SOME OF THEM HAVE A DIFFERENT "B" SIDE. I HAVE LISTED A PICTURE OF THE SLEEVE WITHOUT THE RECORD IN IT, AND ONE WITH A RECORD RELEASED ON THAT SPECIFIC LABEL IN IT, AND IF THERE IS A DIFFERENT "B" SIDE, I HAVE A PICTURE OF THAT TOO. THESE SLEEVES ARE PERFECT TO DRESS UP YOUR RECORD COLLECTION. I HAVE HAD A LOT OF FUN USING THEM IN MY COLLECTION AS WELL, AS HAVE A FEW RECORD COLLECTOR FRIENDS OF MINE. AGAIN PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, THESE ARE FANTASY SLEEVES. THEY DID NOT EXIST IN REAL LIFE BACK IN THE DAY. THE SLEEVES COME IN A PACK OF 6 EACH AND ARE PRICED BY THE PACK.THEY ARE PRINTED WHEN ORDERED, SO MIGHT TAKE UP TO 3 DAYS TO SHIP, BUT IN MOST CASES I WILL SHIP THEM QUICKER THAN THAT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. BE THE FIRST ON YOUR BLOCK TO GET THESE BLASTS REPRESENTING THE PAST. AT A COST LISTED, THESE SLEEVES ARE A REAL BARGAIN.

FOR NOW I'M AFRAID I'M ONLY ABLE TO SHIP TO THE 50 UNITED STATES. I HOPE TO EXPAND TO OTHER AREAS OF THE WORLD SOON. I WILL CHANGE MY LISTINGS TO REFLECT THAT WHEN I'M READY TO SHIP ELSEWHERE.
