I bought PJ and Duncan's 'Tonight I'm Free' with it's picture/poster sleeve from Woolies in the 90s. I don't know why I bought it, I didn't even like the song. It was in the bargain bin.
Eldorado is probably the only coloured vinyl I have. There are something's that you should NEVER divulge,this is one of those things....

Ok ok I'll level with you,my first single I can remember buying was Arsenal FC singing 'Good Old Arsenal' in 1971 (I was 7 at the time and I don't even support them...)

I only bought Beatles singles if the song didn't come on an album. I bought a few American Beatles singles with picture sleeves in the 1960s. Lady Madonna/Inner Light, All You Need Is Love/Baby You're a Rich Man, and Nowhere Man/What Goes On. Here's the thing. It never occurred to me to keep the paper sleeves. Into the trash they went. What a preteen idiot.
I didn't purchase my first colored vinyl. A friend gave it to me. It was neither The Beatles or ELO. It's a red and white splatter 12-inch disc of, ahem, please pardon me, C*cks*cker Blues b/w Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones. Unofficial issue.

There's no picture sleeves, let alone colored vinyl, among my (admittedly meager) collection of 7"s But the first single I ever bought was Queen, We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions, hard to beat that if you ask me! First ELO single I bought was All Over the World. First and only 12" single, which does have a picture sleeve--Queen again, Radio Ga Ga--was a gift from my sister. I didn't own any colored vinyl until From Out of Nowhere, still don't own any picture discs. I do have the laser-etched LP of Styx's Paradise Theatre, though.

Beatles is a great start for anybody. I was more of a Beach Boy fan. But got to realise just how good they were in the late 70s

Good choices there dillwyn. If I remember right I think the cirrus single was a chocolate brown vinyl. On the Jet label.
