Plain innersleeves
Plain innersleeves
I dont know if you have discussed this before.
I have never been a fan of these plastic, transparent sleeves which just mess up when you try to put them back in the cover.
Do you consider plain/transparent innersleeves as "original"? A sleeve with lyrics is something that always is original, but how about plain ones?
Do you think it is ok to replace them with paper sleeves or those padded ones?
Let me know.

My steel isn´t true and that makes me a sad panda...

Some of them has printing (mid to late eighties american ones especially) and those I would never consider changing. Others may have other "qualities" such as being too big, too thin or just plain odd. I think they may have historical value no matter how much irritation they can cause (which they sure can!).

This. I keep all original printed inner sleeves, and just store the record in an antistatic poly sleeve. I usually throw out generic original inners. I use these, they're great quality, and have a paper backing embedded in the plastic so they don't crinkle up and are easy to insert/remove from the sleeve:Khnud wrote:I exchange ALL innersleeves with padded ones. If the record comes with a printed innersleeve, it is placed next to the padded one.

I use these, although I'm looking for a cheaper alternative.

For now I just use whatever comes with the vinyl, I use really sturdy paper sleeves when the vinyl didn't come with a sleeve or if the sleeve was broken.
If the innersleeve has been signed or if it is printed, I keep that sleeve in the cover but store the vinyl in another sleeve.
I plan on doing just like Le fjump does later when my economy is better.

I used to use 6mil polyethylene outers from Music Direct, very thick but also quite expensive. I just got a batch of 3mil sleeves from Bags Unlimited, not crazy asbout them but a lot cheaper. No idea what would be available locally for you.vasilis2112 wrote:Any suggestions for outer sleeves?

I really like the outer that came with the Street Child reissue, anyone know where to get these?
