Description

Unbelievably rare test sleeve for Elton's Passengers single.  Measures just over 7 inches across (18 cm) x 8 inches high (20.25 cm).  Folds out like a birthday card.  I'm including a 7" copy of the disc with the auction, but evidently it didn't come with one originally.  Only a test pressing, and therefore only a handful ever made, this explains why you occasionally see a different Passengers' cover on some of the collectors' sites.  Superb condition. 

I'm nervous of listing this at my usual three quid because it cost me a small fortune, so thought it better to start somewhere in the middle.
