I don't think they sealed the cardboard jackets at all. In new condition, the paper liner containing the record would not easily fall out, and of course the paper liner's opening was turned 90 degrees so the record itself could not fall out of the jacket either.

And Holly's right, Jack. Without something or other it would have fallen out. I think. Certainly there was no shrink wrap. But cellophane was readily available, even in those far off days.

Holly,

But we still don't know what they used to seal
the freakin' cardboard LP jackets with to keep the freakin' record from falling out!


I think they just put the envelope in the cardboard sleeve with the open end facing inward. Then it couldn't fall out.

Jack

Re: Sealing the jackets... They definitely used cellophane. It's one of those images I remember from my teen years. Buy an album, use my finger nail to cut into the cellophane and slide it along to open while being very careful to keep from cutting under my nail with the cardboard. Does this ring bells for anyone else?
