A circular discoloration that appears on the printed cardboard jacket of a long-play (LP) record, caused by the record pressing itself against the jacket, often due to improper storage.
Examples
“But if I love⟳ an album, I need⟳ to replace⟳ it with a copy⟳ in better shape⟳—and sooner rather than later. Sometimes that means buying the record⟳ a couple more times, because an immaculate jacket might contain⟳ a scratched LP. Or a disc that's clearly never been played, that sends warm and crackle-free music through my speakers, might come⟳ to me in a sleeve marred with ring⟳ wear⟳.”
