vinyl sleeve

Album's outer protection

A vinyl sleeve is the outer cover that houses a phonograph record, typically made of cardboard with printed artwork, track listings, and liner notes.

The sleeve protects the record and serves as the album's visual identity: The original vinyl sleeve is worth more than the record itself.

Collectors prize sleeves in pristine condition.
