Comments on: Today’s Jazz Vinyl: Burrell, Warhol, A Sealed Book http://jazzcollector.com/blue-note/todays-jazz-vinyl-burrell-warhol-a-sealed-book/ For those who love jazz Fri, 24 May 2013 19:03:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Ricky http://jazzcollector.com/blue-note/todays-jazz-vinyl-burrell-warhol-a-sealed-book/comment-page-1/#comment-247463 Ricky Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:40:01 +0000 http://jazzcollector.com/?p=4086#comment-247463 Every mom-and pop record store had a shrink wrap machine from the early 60's on. There are many many machines out there right now. I could re-wrap a record in 4 minutes that you would swear is the original seal,shrunk with a medium-heat hair dryer. There's a skill to the shrinking for sure, to make it look original. I would never assume, these days, that a seal is original, especially at the huge gap in pricing of open vs. sealed. It's too big of a temptation for some. Every mom-and pop record store had a shrink wrap machine from the early 60′s on. There are many many machines out there right now.

Anyone know of anywhere that this information can be found. I don't bid on sealed records often because I find they tend to be valued beyond what I would value a M- copy. And there is the uncertainty. I’ve never been able to find anything definitive on sealing practices because they were phased in differently by different companies.
