<< Please, you and Flickerful and others, come help us out on this. It is so very necessary that we recall how record albums were packaged during the 1950s and early 1960s. Such knowledge from the past could further sound ecological practices today. >> Don't know that I can help here. All I know is that my Mamas and Papas album has a trick cover which exchanges faces among them. The 50's is before my time - yes, I was alive, but not yet into music. G. W.

>>OFF TOPIC Holly, I finished high school in 1955, and bought as many records as I could afford in those days -- not too many. I recall the "Hi-FI" emergence from the scratchy, brittle 78s my older brother had during the war. I am digging here, but as I remember the new 33s cost about 5 bucks, a fortune in those days, when high school dropouts made $35 per week in menial jobs. I think they were packaged in cardboard envelopes and the disk itself was in a paper sleeve. I don't recall any shrink wrap or cellophane. The 45s just came in a paper envelope. Sorry, I don't recall any sticky tape on them. By the way, WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SLICK BOINKING MONICA? Just thought I'd throw that in <g>. Jack
