Adge
Cutler & The Wurzels Singles
and the History of Columbia 7" Sleeves
Columbia
7" singles sleeves changed regularly throughout the 1960s.
The scans attached show Adge Cutler's original single releases on
the Columbia label in the sleeves which, in theory, they should
have appeared. The sleeve design changed according to the DB number:
-
Green with flat top DB 4974-7745
-
Green with wavey top DB 7746 - 7913
-
Red with flat top DB 7914-8725
-
Darker red with wavy top DB8726 onwards
Most
of Adge's singles were released in the third red-with-flat-top design
sleeve, except for Poor, Poor Farmer and the Drink
Up Thy Cider re-issue which has the darker red with the wavy
top sleeve. However, many singles appear to have been sold in the
earlier green sleeves for some unknown reason.

For
the real record collectors out there - the 'resale' writing
on the centre of the discs put on labels in 1964 was permitted
to be removed from 1968/69 and so these doesn't appear on
the later singles.

Also note that the matrix info on original 1966 release
of Drink Up Thy Zider (DB8081) and the 1974 reissue
(DB9031) are the same, so the singles are musically identical.
