Forget the glue, first thing to try is a warm iron (no steam).
Pretty much all of the LP sleeves that come apart are found to have been originally hot-glued together, so all you need to do is reapply heat to re-melt the glue. Its a good idea to just use an ironing board (not a table) and use a sheet of paper between the iron and the LP cover, the heat will penetrate through the cover OK, but leave it to one side to cool down or it will just ping apart again.
Oh, and don't forget to remove the vinyl and any inserts before you apply the iron :cool:

PS - irons/hairdryers and a pair of tweezers are also useful for removing very stubborn price stickers.
