Hi all , Please can anyone tell me where I may obtain 11 inch buff cardboard record sleeves in the UK ? The are actually a fraction over 11 inches , being 11 and ⅜ inches wide , suitable for 10 and ¾ inch diameter Odeon and also some Pathé discs.
Many years ago they were available from the " Protect - a - Disc " business who used to sell cardboard record sleeves of many different sizes through mail order. They also used to attend most record collector's fairs as stallholders.

Perhaps you have some lying around which you have no use for ?? I would be pleased to hear from you --- I am looking for around 20 or so , or whatever you may have ? Any help much appreciated ! Kind regards

When I needed 9" covers for my "Crown" dics,I bought thin card from an artist's supply shop and made my own, using an LP cover as a working model. The holes in the centre were made by scribing round a jar lid with a scalpel. Simples!

Hi , Thanks for your tips ! However I did realise I COULD do that !! But I have got more entertaining things to do with my time ! No offence intended -- Its just I thought maybe someone out there may have some 11 inch covers they did not need , or have recently purchased somewhere. I didnt particularly want to make up 20 or 30 of them , although if I can't get any ready made in the size I need , then obviously that will be my necessary course of action . I have made up limited numbers of sleeves for odd sizes , such as 5 inch, but in those instances I only required a few of each.
So , back to the original question --- not alternative suggestions --- Is anyone aware of where I may obtain or purchase ready made
[ ie manufactured ] 11 inch cardboard sleeves ?? ---- I THANK YOU !!!
