Throughout the 1960s, recording and releasing vinyl singles and albums was an integral part of the success of a top showband or beat-group. Many of them released singles, but only the top few recorded E.P.s and L.P.s.  Here are some E.P. and single record sleeves from that era.  Most are from my own record collection while John Baird, Eddie Kelly, Ann Fahy, Liam O'Reilly and David Gaffney have contributed some.
