FESTIVAL GROUP OZ Company Sleeves

THE PLASTIC SLEEVES
The other companies issued one cover for each label they issued, but Festival issued a myriad of covers mostly the same design but with different colour print.
The system probably was:
...

WHITE - Generic all Labels	PURPLE - ABC Paramount / Ampar
BLUE - Mainly Festival / Later Coral	GREEN - Atlantic
LIGHT BLUE - Festival	ORANGE - Command
PINK - Leedon	YELLOW - Ampar and RG (Reg Grundy)

....
This was a general rule of thumb, but they could be mixed.
