 | YankeeDisc SUBS When in doubt.......accelerate........ Member since Dec 2010 733 Points | .....I have to disagree with you completely. I can recall STMA and STML prefix Tamla Motown LPs distributed by EMI with laminated sleeves well into the 1970s. I have a UK issued gatefold album by Gayle McCormick on ABC/Dunhill, I think that's the label, but It hasn't been posted anywhere yet. I think it is 1971. Laminated. Laminated LPs Jackson 5, The Greatest Hits STML 11212, 1971 Stevie Wonder Music Of My Mind STMA 8002, 1972 S. Robinson & The Miracles Greatest Hits Vol. 2 STML 11233, 1973 Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye Live! STMA 8018, 1974 Various Motown Chartbusters Vol. 9 STML 11270, 1974 Marvelettes, The The Best Of The Marvelettes STML 11258, 1975 Various Tamla Motown Presents 20 Mod Classics STML 12125, 1979 Various Tamla Motown Presents 20 Mod Classics Vol. 2 STML 12133, 1980 These are all first issue in UK, not budget label, or reissues. I was in retailing/wholesaling records during the 1970s up to early 1980s, so the old memory got a good workout.........  |

| wordnwot test Member since Dec 2010 692 Points | Well done YankeeDisc. I found one from 1976, Vangelis - Albedo 0.39. RS 1080 I only raised this because the non laminated sleeves seemed to deteriorate quicker, and wondered when record companies started to cut back on the expense of lamination. Come to think of it, weren't those Tamla Motown albums covered in textured foil so they needed laminate surface to protect the patterns in the foil? Edited by wordnwot on 29th Jun 2014, 7:36 AM |

 | PhilMH Member since Jan 2012 1055 Points | I'm not sure if it's actually laminated, but the Australian issue of Grace Jones' NIGHTCLUBBING (1981) is glossy front and back, as well as being made from the thinnest cardboard I've ever seen on an album in a first-world country! |

I found one from 1976, Vangelis - Albedo 0.39. RS 1080 I only raised this because the non laminated sleeves seemed to deteriorate quicker, and wondered when record companies started to cut back on the expense of lamination. Come to think of it, weren't those Tamla Motown albums covered in textured foil so they needed laminate surface to protect the patterns in the foil? I deliberately chose the ones that were not silver foil over light card, like Motown Chartbusters Vol. 3 STML 11121, which was also in mono TML 11121, but that was 1969, anyway. They were actually not laminated with clear Clarafoil, the foil finish was a laminate in itself, and required no further lamination. Motown Chartbusters Vol.3, STML 11121 (1969)  Motown Chartbusters Volume 4, STML11162 (1970) was also a laminate foil.  United Artists brought out some of those silver laminate foil editions, most I cannot recall, but they included Bobby Womack, "Understanding" (1972) and I have both US (UAS 5577 ) and UK (UAS 29365) editions of the album, with the US copy being foil over thick card, and the UK edition being foil over light card, achieved by a laminating process of foil over card.  War "Platinum Jazz" on MCA Records (MCSP 305), and of course, not laminated with clear Clarafoil.  All of the budget Pickwick labels were laminated, and the Top Pop series, plus MFP (Music for Pleasure) EMI's budget label, all well into the 1970's, not forgetting Decca's "World of ......." series PA/SPA prefix, all laminated with clear Clarafoil, or an industrial equivalent.
