2008 — Tony Hicks, "Sleevefacing? Pants-jumping? Here's how stupid human tricks have evolved in the Internet age", The Oakland Tribune, 20 July 2008:
Today's fads can entail matching facial pictures from old vinyl LPs to your body, calling it a "sleeveface," and posting it on the Internet.
2009 — Jeffrey Lee Puckett, "Music to vinyl lovers' ears", Courier-Journal, 14 April 2009:
All new and used vinyl will be on sale for 20 percent off during the event, and the Louisville Photographic Booth Co. will be taking "sleeveface" photographs.
The fad has been sweeping the Internet, with sleevefaces popping up on Facebook and art sites.
2010 — John Campanelli, "Download", Plain Dealer, 3 January 2010:
Just when you thought your old LPs were worthless, along comes the incredible photo genre called "sleeveface." Take an old album cover, preferably with a picture of the artist on it, and then pose with it, merging the album sleeve and background together into a fun — and often unforgettable — photograph.
