The hipster vinyl revival seems to have passed by vintage 45 picture sleeves. In sharp contrast to finding titles once found in the used dollar bins for $25, 45 picture sleeves can be had for a song. I love 45's and the Rolling Stones. I've been on a quest for early London Records picture sleeves. Previously, I've found a few. Check these out: Jumpin Jack Flash and HonkyTonk Women PS
I'll snap them up when I see them. The holy grail - which I have no hope of obtaining - is Street Fighting Man b/w No Expectations. Goldmine values it at $15,000.
Here are a few I've picked up recently.
Get Off Of My Cloud b/w I'm Free
A little damaged, but worth having
19th Nervous Breakdown b/w Sad Day.
A shot from the fruitful photo session at Franklin Canyon in Beverly Hills.
Paint It, Black b/w Stupid Girl
Another shot from Franklin Canyon. This time in color.
Mother's Little Helper b/w Lady Jane
Features a shot which would become the cover to the US version of Aftermath.
Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing in the Shadow b/w Who's Driving Your Plane
The A side is a goofy over produced Phil Spector-ish overkill. The B-Side remains one of my favorite Rolling Stones tracks.
I got the cover on the cheap because some asshole wrote their name on it. The front is a very 1966 is fisheye photo.
The back has The Stones in drag. They don't look very feminine (save for Brian)
Let's Spend the Night Together b/w Ruby Tuesday.
Double A sided single from 1967. Kind of a boring sleeve as it's just the Between the Buttons album cover, but cool nonetheless.
Still hope to find She's a Rainbow. In Another Land and We Love You. Stay tuned. Trying to do this without eBay.
