I think they usually came in generic sleeves from the distributor, 
who I think was Transamerica, cause I recall a red logo in the upper 
corner on an otherwise plain white sleeve.

Of course, who can forget, "20 Top Hits as performed by the Sound 
Effects", or even worse, the group known as 'The Original Artists". 
To be sure, I don't know if anyone ever employed that ruse, but I do wonder!

Hey -- I'm president of the Pumpsie Green fan club!
