Where these similar to the green label vinyl pressings of the Al Smith 
Memorial Album which are the only vinyl Majestics I can recall?  

I just picked up me second copy of the Smith album with an illustrated 
paper dust jacket over the regular green album.  Can anybody think of 
any other 78 album with a dust jacket like books have?
