Morphology
The meaning 'a protective outer cover for a vinyl record' is directly and compositionally derived from 'record' (the vinyl disc) + 'jacket' (an outer casing). This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common naming pattern (e.g., record sleeve/cover), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Record jacket is the name for the paper or cardboard cover that acts like a small jacket for the record, a bit like a coat that wraps and protects the disc. That's why the phrase means the outer 'cover' that keeps a vinyl record safe and shows the album art.
