company sleeves

[paul messis]

My new habit is to buy original company sleeves for all my 45s, I'm very close so far to having my US garage and psych all sorted and in respective company sleeves.

My question is 1) do any of you guys, get OCD about this sorta thing too, and keep all your 45s in their respective company sleeves, in plastic sleeves etc etc.

2) were their any obscure 'garage' labels that had company sleeves?? I always found it unusual that 'fenton' never did company sleeves... I'd love to see examples of small labels that did have sleeves.


Thanks


Paul

are there nicer things than sliding your Oscar Hamod or Park Avenue Playground 45 into one of these cool striped USA label-sleeves? Wouldnt a Chocolate Watchband 45 feel painfully incomplete w/o an Uptown sleeve? Fenton sleeves sure would be great.

This website is quite helpful to the case:

Yeah that webpage is my reference point Greg.... yep, Cherry Slush and Oscar Hamod NEEDS those USA sleeves, in a mad sort of way, it feel's like home.

I try keep all my 45s in canonical sleeves. One teen beat label missing in the 45-sleeves.com URL is "Leo" that issued the Combenashuns (although that might be seen as a borderline picturesleeve). Sometimes I go to record shows just to buy sleeves and get relieved looks from dealers when buying junk 45s that happen to be shrouded in decent condition, and classic, sleeves. 45-sleeves.com doesn't have a Canadian section so I don't know, for instance, what is the correct Reo or Quality sleeve to match up against say The Soup Greens issue on Reo or the Haunted in general. Good luck.

Slipping my Undecided? 45 into a Dearborn label sleeve gives me a measure of pleasure.

I was just thinking Tino & the Revlons, Me & dem Guys and The Detriot Riots - Dearborn label sleeves gotta be one of the most beautiful well designed sleeves. No Undecided here though...

Company Sleevism doesn't get much Madder than this...

Would anyone have a spare Circa sleeve?

I love company sleeves. That Ikon sleeve is amazing.

Can anyone confirm company sleeves from Glenn Records exist (Merrell&the Exiles)? I saw Moerer advertised a copy years ago but since I already had the 45 he was selling it in I thought it a bit much paying $35 for the sleeve only. Now I regret it though. Unless it was a distributor sleeve of some sort.

My question is 1) do any of you guys, get OCD about this sorta thing too, and keep all your 45s in their respective company sleeves, in plastic sleeves etc etc.

All 45s kept in white thin paper sleeves, then inserted into a white cardboard outer sleeve, then the company sleeve is put in front and the combo is sunk into a polythene sleeve. Been a pretty shit job replacing all the PVC sleeves after learning about the off-gassing from these. And depressing to see the damage already done to some 45s. It took less than 10 years to start the whitening/fogging process on a 45. Up until then it had of course survived effortlessly in it´s original brown outer sleeve. The irony...

If you want to use plastic type sleeves, spend the $$$ and buy the mylar/archival quality sleeves. They do not allow light damage and have no off-gassing/breakdown effects prone to poly sleeves

Here is a page I found Bagsunlimited that seems to have all of the protection supplies. mylar sleeves, paper sleeves carrying cases etc....

By the way, mylar sleeves, they really are expensive, so you'll be showing some real love to your discs!

Stupendous company sleeve design from Spain.

Good Lord HODADS, this is some serious company sleeve porn-age!!!

I need a Circa Sleeve too if anyone has one going???

I've always loved the Cuca records sleeve, such a hip look.


Could someone explain to me this 'off gassing' that poly sleeves do to 45s???

Let the sleeves continue

That is a pre 1966 GNP company sleeve. When I went thru warehouse loads, I always paid attention as to which sleeves went with the 45s, if the stock was untouched / in storage / unreturned inventory.
The Seeds 45s in the old-style GNP sleeve would be the Daisy Mae / Can't Seem To Make You Mine promo and blue label stock copy, and my copy of "You're Pushin Too Hard" / "Out Of the Question" also has the old style sleeve. The rest of the Seeds 45s should have the block / more generic company sleeve design.
