Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: a 'record sleeve' is literally the sleeve (protective cover) for a record, so a learner who knows 'record' (vinyl disc) and 'sleeve' (protective cover) can infer the compound meaning. This noun-noun compound follows a transparent, cross-linguistically common pattern, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Record sleeve comes from the image of a thin paper or card sleeve you slide a record into, like a little coat that keeps dust and scratches away. That's why it means 'a cover that protects a vinyl record'.
