That is how they MUST be packed by the FACTORY if what they are in is
essentially a folded piece of paper with three open sides. You cannot
shrink wrap a record housed only in paper -- the paper will be
crumpled. Only a hard cardboard cover can be shrink wrapped. If you go
to record stores which stock these 45s new, these open poly sleeves are
universal. Even singles in regular paper sleeves -- 45s or 78s -- were
never sealed. Never. Why seal the polybags? They would get wrecked by
unsealing, and then the collector would have a cruddy package.

Nope, wrong again. The first Columbia LPs were in paper sleeves, a bit
heavier than the flimsy generic 78 sleeves, but nothing that could have
survived shrinkwrapping -- which didn't come along until the 1960s
anyway. There were some loose sealed polybags in the 50s, and this
continued occasionally in Europe in the 60s because European sleeves are
usually thinner than in the U.S. Most LPs were not sealed until the 60s.

You don't get out to record stores much,.do you? Underground records
have occasionally been packaged this way worldwide for decades. And why
do you think that they have never been given a name before? And I do
tend to find that rock collectors and writers -- especially back in the
70s and 80s -- sometimes unnecessarily re-named things wrong out of
ignorance of the way things were done before they were born. At least
you are going at this the right way by asking the experienced.
