Fabulous Forty-Fives

















Presented here is a selection of single picture sleeves from popular British Invasion artists.

I miss 45s and the unique mixes, picture sleeves and artwork they often provided. Downloading a song from iTunes, though convenient, just doesn't have the same appeal as holding a tangible object in one's hands while savoring the sounds emanating from the speakers.

Check out the three Yardbirds picture sleeves - one with Clapton, one with Beck, and one with Beck and Page. Upcoming trips to Wonderland will include a Yardbirds scrapbook of vintage articles and promo pictures, as well as features on more groups from the British Invasion and beyond. Happy New Year!
