SLEEVE NOTES (2021 - Present)

​​​​​​​​​​​​

​SLEEVE NOTES (published 2025) presents a photographic collection of 150 fan-made inner record sleeves, dating between 1950 and 2000 and collected by my dad whilst working at 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 SLEEVE NOTES recall a time when music ownership was sealed with a fan’s own handiwork.

​

Foreword written by my dad, Kevan Russell.
