A " Sleeveface " before the Internet phenomenon was a record cover of DJ J Rocc, whose own cover ( front and back ) is designed as a group Sleeveface. The term ' Sleeveface ' was coined by DJ Carl Morris from Cardiff in April 2007 after photos were taken of him and his friends, where they keep record sleeves before their faces, as they themselves laying on plates in a bar in Cardiff. His friend John Rostron published the photos on the net and started a group on the emerging platform Facebook. From there, the phenomenon spread. John Rostron and Carl Morris published the book Sleeveface: Be The Vinyl ( dt "Be your record", published by Hoffmann und Campe ), which Sleevefaces gathered from around the world that had been submitted via their website www.sleeveface.com.
