The problems are many, I'm afraid. First, they collect dust, rather, they attract it. Stuff percolates in that ever older mulm. A noxious garden blooms. The sleeves, contrary to the gentle Krusty2k's usually good suggestion, is that the sleeves/bags all expirate oily gas. You might consider going pure acid-free paper for sleeve and jacket both.
LPs and allergies, anyone?
After my wife's severe allergic attack last weekend, I decided to move my 1000 LPs from the entertainment unit to the garage. My wife unfortunately still has allergy issues, but I'll stick with my decision, because I noticed how pungent the sleeves were, once I had them transferred.
About 250 of my albums are in plastic covers, and I'm thinking of doing that with the rest. It won't stop the chemical reaction, of course, but might contain that acidic
whiff better. I'd like to know if anybody else has had to deal with this dilemma and what solutions they came up with. Thanks for your responses.
