I was just wondering if anyone was intrested in posting up their picture sleeves for everyone to see.

I love to see 40 year old Soul picture sleeves and you just don't see that many about do you.

Its great to see vinyl turn up in good condition but when it has the original sleeve aswell............just that bit extra special for me!!

Has anyone got the sleeve that came with "The Metropolitan" by "the Jaguars" as I have never seen that!

What other rare and unusual picture sleeves are out there???

Scanners at the ready people, Lou Johnson, Liz Verdi, Ray Pollard please, It would be great to see them all

Here are a couple of mine, the obvious ones!

Her's some more spanish editions.

Archie Bell and The Drells (Atlantic) and 5th Dimension (Liberty), both distributed here by Hispavox.

The Tymes by spanish RCA and Bunny Sigler (Cameo-Parkway) by Sono Play.

(There's a review in spanish in the back cover art of "Let The Good Times Roll")

Bit of a poor offering compared to some of those already posted, but here goes anyhow.

Nice to see those Spanish ones Manny

Seems like the Continentals seemed to go for the picture sleeves more than the UK/US, wonder why that was ?

Love the Four Below Zero one Godz, great retro pic.

Just about everyone did more than we did, Bogue. South Africa, Asia, Southern Hemisphere - they all did 'em. I guess in the UK it wasn't seen as an essential marketing tool.

No i guess not, another angle perhaps could be that a picture beats any language barrier too.

Heres the Dells again less fuzzy hopefully + a Chuck Jackson classic

Couple of Japanese ones. Sammy's great version of Shaft and The Human Beinz - Nobody But Me. You might be able to make out the title just under the yellow characters at the top.

That Four below zero is a classic Godz !!!

Well done

Cheers Paul

Cheers mate

Don't think I paid to much for it either. Certainly not more than a US Roulette copy would have cost. Nice thread this innit?

Here's two more from Spain. Not speaking the language I took a punt on Evasivo meaning Elusive. I think the sleeve slightly makes up for the dodgyness of this oldie

Not got too many PS 45s but I've got this somewhere I think.

Some more spanish soul singles...

(Brenda & The Tabulation's Top & Botton and Sly's Epic, both distributed here by Discophon; 5 Stairsteps on Buddah, here by Fonogram; Little Beaver by Spanish RCA and Martha - MCA -, distributed here by Movieplay)

And some more...

(Stax and Motown distributed by Movieplay; Atlantic by Hispavox)

One French, one Spanish, one German.....totally brilliant thread people

Love that Invitations Girthdevon

Cheers Paul

Also, a picture sleeve cost more ?

OOOOOOH.....some nice stuff there Mel, but the Little Willie John takes the biscuit.... the rare original cover showing a white nurse, very nice, the only ones I've ever seen just have the word Fever in block letters, like mine ..........I'm jealous now and I'm going off for a sulk...

Cheers to all contribitors to the thread some lovely and very desirable pieces indeed .
