In the days of 78rpm phonorecords, discs came only in "sleeves!" Given
the relative hardness of shellac (as opposed to polyvinyl plastics),
this was ample protection against the environment/evildoers/evil
terrorist elements/any later threat...!!

In fact, 45rpm polyvinyl discs also came protected by a single outer
"sleeve." I suspect one of the main reasons for the emergence of
LP-album "inner sleeves" was the 144 ft^2 (less the hole...?!) of
advertising space they offered...?!
