album cover
Vinyl artwork wrapper
An album cover is the front artwork of a music album—originally the cardboard sleeve housing a vinyl record, now often a digital image.
Album covers range from simple photographs to elaborate artistic statements: The Dark Side of the Moon has one of the most recognizable album covers in rock history.
The term persists even as physical albums decline.
