Hello all, Am I missing something here or what? I thought the purpose of storing records outside the jacket was to prevent the jacket’s getting ring wear. Perhaps I’m a maven or something but a beautiful jacket, to me, is an integral part of having a wonderful collectible LP. Why would the record stay inside the jacket at the risk of splitting seams when taking it out to play the LP? I have always put a sleeve on the jacket and before I got in the habit of placing LP outside jacket I noticed some of the jackets developing a ring wear line even with a plastic sleeve in place. Now that I store LP in a MOFI liner and place the Lp inside a generic plain hard jacket and put that pkg on the outside of the jacket I have flawless covers which are double sleeved. Sorry, I don’t get it at all. What is the point of having LP inside the jacket?

l label misprint would not bother me. A misprint our variation would be considered unique by some collectors, and valuable in its own right. I listen the music, not the cover. I store some records in the cover sleeves, some outside the cover, within a vinyl protective cover. Depends on the condition of the actual cover.

Nicotine residue is easily removed from a record via deep cleaning. Just curious, how many have a record cleaner in regular use ?

Greg – I was surprised actually. We were very up front and called them after the weekend was out (allowing sufficient time to check out local stores for a replacement). The owner didn’t seem to care whatsoever, but I did go on ebay and pick up a replacement and have it sent to him. Fortunately because his copy was probably VG- condition, I was able to find a slightly better copy for just $25. This guy wasn’t a vinyl collector as much as he just enjoyed listening to the music.

GST, fortunately it wasn’t in great shape from the get-go, but they also left out original copies of Miles’ Kind of Blue, Brubeck’s Take Five, and some other classics.

An AirBnb renter left their valuable records out in the open?! I’m feeling anxious just thinking about it!

I’m exclusively an outside the cover person, however I don’t value intact seams nearly as much as a decently playing record when purchasing, so it would be much more risky for me to store mine inside the sleeve. I’ve also witnessed first hand a friend sliding a 10″ Chet Baker Sings into its sleeve at an AirBnb we rented and watching the record fall right through and shatter on the floor.

Clifford, yeah, I love Vertigo. I have UK originals of all the Black Sabbaths and two Gentle Giants, and an Australian pressing of the second Patto lp with the Roger Dean gimmix sleeve that I got real cheap. Wish I could afford others (the Nucleus / Ian Carr stuff for example, to get back to jazz) but they’re so damn expensive; someone called ’em the Blue Notes of rock, there might be something in that.
