[78-L] 78 sleeves--was:Inner sleeves

[David Lennick]

Victor and Bluebird made record-specific sleeves that held 3 discs. Not just 
for kids sets..I have P-2, the album of Christmas Carols with Lew White and 
company, in a red sleeve. And Blue Note put Meade Lux Lewis's 2-disc "The 
Blues" in a stiff paper sleeve (got that around here somewhere). Both are pre-1940.
