Description Hello to all you Northern Soul & Motown connoisseur's out thereWhat you are looking at here is a beautiful handmade picture sleeve (Only) made for the Mod 1967 classic Contours UK released single "It’s So Hard Being A Loser" TMG605. This stunning piece of art has been made faithfully and true to the Garrod & Lofthouse EP original picture sleeves of the classic Sixties period. This sleeve (protector) has been made in high quality card and has that famous laminated front cover just like the Sixties originals and even the "Flipback" flaps on the rear. As you would all well know in their heyday none of the regular UK released Tamla Motown 45s from the Sixties right up to the mid Seventies were ever released with a picture sleeve, only the EP's would get that privilege.Please note that this is not a company item in anyway but an individual hand-crafted item made lovingly by a collector for collectors. All sizes are true to the Garrod & Lofthouse Sixties spec so it can be used to house the 45 single no problem.......please note that there is no record included.This Picture Sleeve (protector) is made from only using the best of materials - the fronts are printed on premium glossy photo card of 260gsm, which keeps the colours deep and rich, and is then laminated just like the sixties originals. The rears are once again top quality card which are slightly thicker then the original card used in the sixties.This Picture Sleeve (protector) has the exact settings of the original Tamla Motown EP picture sleeves with all the same arranged text and some even with special images that the Sixties copies could have had. With the flipback all around the EMITEX logo and the label logo with the EMI address it's all there, along with the songwriters and producers names. Whether you have a company sleeve, you're an avid collector or a Northern Soul DJ out on the road this is a beautiful piece of art that would have people talking noticing and looking.Once again I would like to thank all my friends /customers for all of your support and faith in what I do.
