[78-L] Inner sleeves

[DAVID BURNHAM]

Like many of us, I was around and aware of record developments when the LP was introduced.  I think what we're dealing with here is not the introduction of the inner sleeve but the outer sleeve.  Most 78s were sold in a generic paper sleeve, (although some had an envelope with the record information on it, especially kid's records) and the first LPs were sold in envelopes which were slightly more sturdy with the record's contents described.  In the mid-fifties the cardboard outer sleeve came into common use.
