I had the same problem with my copies, and was worried the pressing was bad because I
had already cleaned the records with my felt cleaner.  After hearing from other list
members, I tried cleaning again with a soft damp cloth + a can of compressed air +
new paper sleeves, and the records were just fine.  They really ought to provide
sleeves though anyway like you said - the closing tab on the cardboard outers can
leave marks on the vinyl surface (at least they did on mine).
