So great to see some attention given to this topic. I enjoy the artwork and advertisements on vintage sleeves such as these immensely. It's all part of the fun of collecting. The marketing techniques used by the various labels, the excitement and pride over what is offered for purchase to the consumer...all these things help draw attention to a simpler age when the "little things" in life mattered and were celebrated/appreciated. Especially fun is when you buy a box set of 45's and the sleeves inside are all still crisp, pristine, and correct/original. Love it.
I forgot to add that the "magic brain" sleeve is one of my absolute favorites too...like something out of an old "B" science fiction movie. Cult appeal...whatever you want to call it. Fun. Fun. Fun!

Great research! Thanks for this interesting information!!!!
Look for Walter Camp's Daily Dozen LPs. He put a series of exercise records out with images of how to do them on the sleeves. Fascinating stuff.

I'm really confused by something, back in the day did these come in cardboard jackets like modern records or were they sold only in the paper sleeve?
