[78-L] White Xmas.

[David Lennick]

That's exactly what an "album" originally was, a hard-covered object with 
pockets (or sleeves) inside, similar to a photo album. When the LP came along 
in 1948, it continued the concept since most LPs contained the same number of 
selections as had previously been in a 78 set. Some even still use the term for 
a CD.
