I don't think many artists had their own company sleeve. But then Elvis was The King after all... From around 72-74? The photo is from the 1968 tv special anyway.

Hi, there are more artists than you would expect, especially in Germany. Elvis had 3 types, Cliff Richard 2, The Shadows also 2. Peter Kraus had 2, The Dutch Swing College also. Then there were sleeves for Belafonte, Dave Clark, Caterina Valente, Helen Shapiro, The Beach Boys, The Beatles (on Odeon), Ray Charles, Bruce Low, Gerhard Wendland, Heide Bruehl and maybe I even forgot a few.
Also Chris Barber, Mr. Acker Bilk & Monty Sunshine had their own sleeves on German Metronome, though without picture.
In The Netherlands there was a special sleeve for The Equals (with a large mouth) and Los Machucambos (on Omega).
The UK only offered us T.Rex (with a pic of Marc Bolan) but of course the US was first in the 50s with Glenn Miller and Mario Lanza on RCA and a beautiful one of the Dorsey Brothers on the cheapo Bell label.
As soon as I get my scanner in working order again I will send you some.
Best regards,
Johan
