At least one Canadian record label in the 70s, GRT, claimed that its jackets 
were made of a special material that made inner sleeves unnecessary. Talk about 
cheap. Fortunately they were of good stock and not the dreaded SHOREPAK (tm) 
with its slippery surfaces and vanishing glue.

Based on how many albums I see at flea markets and similar venues that are just the record in the cardboard jacket, many LP owners were in the habit of throwing away those inner sleeves.
