RARE 45 r.p.m. Picture Sleeves!!! Would you like to travel back in time about 50 years and collect rock and roll picture sleeves in brand NEW condition? Sure you would! Well, today's the day! I'm selling off my private collection of rare items!
THIS AUCTION is for a scarce sleeve by Bobby Rydell! Sleeve in NM condition: Kissin' Time // You'll Never Tame Me (SLEEVE only------record not included) The outline of the record can be seen somewhat when the sleeve is held to the light, but the sleeve is not "worn".
Back in the 1950's, a San Francisco juke box dealership bought from one to twenty copies of all the hit records. They stocked individual juke boxes with these records, custom-picked by customers who rented the individual juke boxes for private dances-------filled with their favorite hit records of the day! Let's have a party!
When plain record sleeves (with their 4-inch holes) held a record, the juke box dealer could hold a stack of 45's on his thumb. But sleeves with photos didn't have holes, and they couldn't be stacked on his thumb! So this dealer REMOVED the illustrated picture sleeves and stacked them in the corner of the room, and put the records in heavy-paper green sleeves, and that problem was solved!
Then, in 1974, the juke box dealer let me into his stock room to buy stuff. The 45 rpm records were fine-to-mint, neatly stored on shelves, alphabetically labeled, and $1 each! Even being a starving college student, I bought over 100 records, the big Find-of-the-Day being Elvis' "That's All Right" on the SUN label......for just $1!!! Yes, I still have it to this day!
And over in the corner of the room were UNUSED 45 rpm Picture Sleeves, stacked all the way to the ceiling!!! Many were pop standards (Frank Sinatra, etc) but about 10% of them were in the category of Rock 'N Roll. So I bought them!
I am now selling off my collection. Most of these sleeves are NEAR-MINT or MINT condition. Occasionally, I would also buy sleeves at a local Record Swop so a few are in lesser condition------but I will note each exception in my auctions. MULTIPLE ORDERS: my usual shipping rate is $4, but if you win more than one lot, I give AUTOMATIC DISCOUNTS on all the other lots. I keep all Post Office receipts as proof that each order was shipped. I pack very well, and my eBay Feedback Rating is 100%. NO SALES TAX, and NO RESERVE!
Enjoy! You can see how terrific these sleeves are by looking at my scans, and enlarging each scan. Questions? Just ask me at jeffcain104@gmail.com
