LPs have an inner protective sleeve. The inner sleeve is either thin white paper, either plain or printed with information on other recordings available from the same company.
These quite often have a circular cut out so that the record label can be read without directly handling the record.


The original company inner bag has a fold-over flap at the top of the bag to prevent the record from falling out.
