Discogs (see my link above) is a good place to learn about the specifics of a given record, including the format. I just added this as a side note, because you described it as “album” in the title. The difference is mostly inconsequential for the purpose of font identification, apart maybe from the fact that, at 12″, LP album covers are much larger than sleeves for 7″ singles, and size – which isn’t always obvious from a digital image – can sometimes provide a hint about the typography. Also, cover designs for albums are often more elaborate than those made for singles. The latter tend to feature flashier as well as more recent typefaces, in relatively bigger sizes. There’s a difference in in printing and materiality, too.
