Dedicated follower of fashion b/w Sittin' on my sofa by The Kinks (Pye 7 N 17064)

This month a quartet of envelope sleeves. These sleeves were used by Dutch record company Negram between 1963 and 1965 for releases on the Pye and Vogue labels (but strangely enough not for domestic releases on Negram and Havoc). Another example can be found in the November 2009 post of Françoise Hardy's Only friends. They were thin cardboard sleeves that looked like envelopes and to get the record from the sleeve it had to be opened on the back. Very vulnerable as the envelopes tended to get damaged if heavily used. So mint copies are rare. Strange thing is that Negram often released a second, third or fourth pressing with a regular picture sleeve. Dedicated follower of fashion was the first record I obtained in an envelope sleeve, but this is one that was later available with a regular picture sleeve (both in purple and in blue versions) in a plastic protective cover.
