[78-L] About record sleeves

[elodie-roy at aliceadsl.fr.invalid]

Dear Kristjan and Inigo,

Thank you for your illuminating messages and suggestions -- they are precious!

I will be searching for the articles which appeared in 'For the Record'. 

It is interesting to look at the Swedish cardboard sleeves; I was especially taken by the advertisement for Eric Nillson's shop, which would sell a mix of music, photographic equipment, radio sets and tennis gear (!).... I like how these sleeves allow us to retrace a kind of primitive 'biography' of the record, or at least to learn in which kind of environments it was fist distributed. From looking at my British sleeves, I see that records were often sold in cycle shops... but I also found references to shops selling 'records and electric shades' for instance...!

I wonder whether this practice of re-sleeving also took place outside Europe (broadly defined)....

Kind regards,

Elodie
