Four 7” picture sleeve singles by XTC.
The mighty XTC. For me they, along with Magazine, created some perfect post-punk music and artwork combinations.
The Towers of London switchable transparent bag sleeve is a particular favourite.

The Sex Pistols ‘Anarchy in the U.K.’ single with black sleeve.
B side of the ‘Anarchy’ single with the wrong producer credit.
Iconic: my copy of ‘Anarchy’ I bought in its first week of release in late ‘76. Plain black sleeve and a miscredit to Chris Thomas as the producer on the B-side. (it was actually Dave Goodman)
This printing error was on the first 5,000 copies only.
