PRE-ORDER: OUT 2ND MAY 2025
Celebrate the release of Sleeve Notes with us on Friday 2nd May from 17:00 - 19:00.
SLEEVE NOTES presents 150 fan-made inner record sleeves, dating between 1950 and 2000 and collected by Crazy Beat Records – a local second-hand music store in Essex.
Celebrating the passion and creativity of music lovers, the collection foregrounds historic fans’ dedication to physical media. Preserving a pre-internet era of devotion, the meticulous tributes of these sleeves recall a time when music ownership was sealed with a fan’s own handiwork.
SLEEVE NOTES features sleeves collected
and photographed by artist and documentarian Dominique Russell, alongside a foreword by her father Kevan Russell of Crazy Beat Records and the collection’s originator.
