First off, thank you all for the help you provided my last session. I was completely oblivious to the phono world and this place helped out immensely.
I have one quick question.
For some reason, I am under the impression that it is the proper way to store records by taking out the entire paper sleeve from the cardboard sleeve before removing the record. Thus, when I store most of my records the cardboard sleeve could form a 'C' shape with the opening on the right, and the paper sleeve could form a 'U' shape. This forces me to take out the paper sleeve before I remove the record.
I hope this makes sense.
Is this correct? Incorrect? Overkill?
Thank you. |

The inner sleeve should have its opening to the top which provides less opportunity for dust to make its way to the disc.

And less chance for you to pick up the album and have the disc 'roll' out onto the floor |

Or fall out inadvertantly, as I pass the album to by bro across the kitchen table. Smash goes Ziggy Stardust.
Sigh. Sweep. |

A bit obsessive compulsive...
I have the opening of the sleeve facing up (as Jan said), and the outer plastic sleeve's opening on the opposite side of the cardboard opening.
I also replace the inner sleeves with Mobile Fidelity plastic inner sleeves. Far less static and dust. |

Seems reasonable on 2 levels, Stu.
1: protection in all manner
2: cannot get at the slab after a few pints, go for cd. |

I assume the plastic sleeve is loose fitting. Otherwise it should be removed all together. |

Supposedly the shrinkwrap style plastic continues to shrink over time and can warp the disc even when it is properly stored upright at a less than a 5 degree angle.

For what it's worth, I remember reading such info as a youngster and immediately removing the cellophane from all my lp's.
The beer and other extracurriculars did far more damage than the shrink wrap. |
