 1st I guess was a sleeve for maybe some Heavy Metal release , Flag Records 

The 2nd albeit a round card found in a Polydor sleeve from 69 worth a read , how times have changed ,exact size of a 7" disc.

The 3rd  an home made Job I found on a car boot , I presume he no longer needs it ?

Always loved the design on this Mexican sleeve

I like the sleeves such as Trojan & Buddha that are an extension of the record label 

Although, with so much scope it’s difficult to understand why record companies chose to virtually copy other sleeves, you’d think they would want to differentiate themselves 

It’s also interesting to see how the sleeve designs change with time

Joy was a New York label owned and run by George and Eddie Joy. They released over one hundred 45s from 1958 to 1968. This lovely sleeve is from 1964 (assuming it's the birth sleeve for depicted record).

Great thread.

Couple from me.

1. Charming collage sleeve from Disques Vogue (also love the modernist label design).

2. Same as the one above that's got a Major Lance record in it (actually a company sleeve for the Brazilian Motown label!)

I'm sure this site has been posted before, but if you want amazing sleeves, John Spencer's website lists his collection, but with a twist, every sleeve has a drawing, sketch or paining by John, if you have not seen this before, his work is stunning and highly original...
