This is not exactly Beatles but semi-beatles related ( by relation and label ). I have aquired a copy of the 69 Scaffold " L the P ". Its not a record you see very often and my first time, what shocked me was the the flipbacked sleeve is unlaminted on the front but has a laminated rear panel !!! From 68 we know that garrod started to do odd things on the flip sleeves as they moved away from them, for example the move is full laminated, Sage sears is textured and unlaminated, Beck old fully unlaminted etc, however this is the first time i have seen a total reversal, umlaminated front and flips on top of a laminated rear panel. I was so shocked i had to sit down and have a cuppa !! |

That's because the front cover is black-and-white, and the back cover is in colour. The coloured side got the lamination in that configuration. Something similar (but more subtle) happened in the USA. The back side of an album cover was usually in black-and-white. Not only were these printed on a lower quality, uncoated paper stock, but also they were printed by different companies than the front covers. The color front covers were printed on a higher-quality paper with a semi-glossy finish. Covers like Help! (US) cost more to print because the whole package was in color. During 1967 Capitol began printing both slicks in color for some releases; by 1969 this was the norm. Once everything was in color, they reversed the folding of the covers -- because they were no longer saving money by making the (more expensive) color slick smaller in size than the (cheaper) black-and-white slick. On the "L to the P" album, I suspect they are most/all that way: the colour slick is laminated, and the black-and-white slick is not. http://www.popsike.com/THE-SCAFFOLD-BEATLE...0688775067.html http://www.popsike.com/SCAFFOLD-L-THE-PMEG...0989858116.html http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=430152 |

great explanation Frank, and yes i am sure they are all like that, however i personally would have expected for the whole thing to be unlaminated but yes the B/W front with a colour rear is an odd combination anyway. |
