while looking for another 45, I stumbled across this 45 in its sleeve, which looks pretty good imo also found while looking for Love Gonna Pack Up by Sly Slick and Wicked 45:

forget what 45 came in this sleeve, but it was not from the label I might have one 45 on the label, but the colors look great together

the blue Motown sleeve looks great. Living outside Philadelphia, I. am a fan of the various Jamie 45 sleeves, like this distro sleeve I generally like them colorful, especially when really crisp. this one is neither but still great

I have tried to order this 45 and the Soul Senations 45 twice and cannot get through the checkout process. I live in the USA and it says something about a shipping policy.

I have the following 45 for sale: The Broadways “Sweet And Heavenly Melody” / “You Just Don’t Know” MGM K13592 45 Visually, 45 is Strong VG+. 45 has slight edge warp that does not effect play, and is more noticeable from “Sweet and Heavenly Melody” side. Record plays VG++, really great. Included is the original company sleeve. $200.00 USD including postage. I have been selling on eBay for a number of years under the name fonkysoul and have 100% positive feedback. Please send me a message to reserve, confirm PayPal ID.
