with original contents:

2 x original single die-cut black inner sleeves

*** early copies of these photos were a darker tone as time progressed the tone got lighter-people often use later photos to 'complete' an older pressing where the photos are damaged or missing (frequently in the 60s the photos were stuck on walls and occasionally never returned to the sleeve)-be aware of this when buying 'originals'
