==Origin== Liner notes are descended from the program notes for musical concerts, and developed into notes that were printed on the outer album jacket or the inner sleeve used to protect a traditional 12-inch vinyl record, i.e., [[long playing]] or [[gramophone record]] [[album]]. The term descends from the name "record liner" or "album liner". Album liner notes survived format changes from vinyl LP to cassette to CD.<ref>Dean Biron, Writing and Music: Album Liner Notes, ''Portal: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies'' (Vol 8, No 1), 2011.</ref> These notes can be sources of information about the contents of the recording as well as broader cultural topics.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Borgerson|first1=Janet|title=Designed for Hi-Fi LIving: The Vinyl LP in Midcentury America|last2=Schroeder|first2=Jonathan|publisher=MIT Press|year=2017|isbn=978-0262036238|location=Cambridge, MA}}</ref>
