Good question lewm.  I use an anti-static ionizing fan that produces both positive and negative ion air flow.  I use it where i take the records out of the covers.  I just hold the record up to the fan for a few seconds to discharge the static.  Definitely works well.  You can tell with a piece of paper that is statically attached to the record   When you place it in front of the fan upside down (paper down), after a few seconds the paper falls off as static dissipates.  Fast, easy, and fairly inexpensive.

Lewm.  I only use the static fan for brief moments.  I turn it on, pull the album out and let the fan blow on it to help the sleeve release from the record, I pull the record out and hold it under the static fan for a few seconds, flip it over and hold it for a few seconds and. Turn the fan off.  Then put the record on the turntable.  The static fan isn’t on very long.  Also it has a dial on the front to clean the copper element.  Periodically you just turn the dial back and forth once or twice and that’s it.  Yes you can smell the ozone but it’s only on for maybe a minute or so total.  No big deal.  Seems to work well.  

Bdp24.  I’ve seen those double outer pocket type outer sleeves once before and I’ve been searching for them several times to no avail.  They looked perfect!  Who is this Canadian manufacturer of these outer sleeves and who sells them?  I’ve looked everywhere for them. Help!

I appreciate the info on the pocketed sleeves.  Thanks!

Now if I could just find some triple gatefold outer sleeves!
