I wouldn't use tape for the reason Manny mentioned.
Instead, cut a strip a little over 1/2" wide from a manila file folder. Cut to length for the album. Using a straight-edge or ruler, fold the strip in half lengthwise. If there is original cardboard material inside the jacket (from the original fold over) you may want to remove that. Then glue the manilla strip inside the edges of the jacket. That should be strong and yet thin enough not to make replacing the record difficult.
To clean non-glossy covers, try an art gum eraser. Be cautious not to rub too hard.
For stickers and price labels I find a heat gun and butter knife do a better job than liquid solvents.
