A '''record sleeve''' is the outer covering of a [[vinyl record]]ing. The sleeve is technically the paper covering that is closest in contact to the surface of the recording, as in "'''dust sleeve'''", "liner" and "'''album liner'''". The term has come to be synonymous with "'''record jacket'''" and "'''album jacket'''", which is the outermost cardboard covering of a vinyl [[LP album|LP]]. The vinyl LP jacket and the 7"/12" sleeve are the areas to receive considerable attention to graphic design, and will contain the most important and pertinent information about the recording (manufacturer, artist, title of recording, and contents), assuming there is no visible [[record label]] with such information. The term "album liner" (or "record liner") led to the expression "[[liner notes]]", in a similar way to "record sleeve" leading to "sleeve notes". |
|||
The term is also used to denominate the outermost cardboard covering of a record, i.e. the ''record jacket'' or ''album jacket''. |
|||
The record jacket is extensively used to [[Cover art|design]] and market a recording, as well as to additionally display general information |

on the record as artist name, titles list, title length etc. if no opening presents a readable [[record label|label]]. |

The terms [[liner notes]], ''sleeve notes'' are used to refer to this label, jacket information. |
