I have been sliding my outer sleeves over the open end of the album cover since I was a kid in high school in the 70’s. Even then I noticed dust collecting on the vinyl near the open end and your (our?) solution cured that problem. And your observation mirrors mine-nobody else I know does that. Except you 👍. Can we share the patent? Cheers!

I tried that and probably hundreds of others have too. In my opinion, the results did not adequately compensate for the annoyance. Nor have I ever perceived that significant dust accumulates on an LP via the open end of an album cover. If that’s a problem , just rotate the inner sleeve so the naked edge of the LP is not exposed. Also, consider reducing dust in your listening room. |
My entire collection resides in the Japanese Resealable Outer Sleeves that are sold by Elusive Disc. I've never had a problem with mold. These Sleeves are perfectly sized in that they will accept singles, and even all doubles and some triples fit. They are durable, crystal clear, the adhesive strip does not fail. I've always been 100% satisfied with them. Beware of others, the ones MusicDirect sell are not the same, are inferior IMO, and they're even too small-tight for just singles, let alone doubles. |
@porchlight1 - I've slid the outer sleeve over the open end for years, ever since I tried it the other way and it was a real bear getting them into and out of my LP shelves without the sleeves wanting to remove themselves.... |
I had a house flood in 1985 (I posted on this elsewhere today) . I tried saving my LPs for a few years because I couldn’t afford to buy any kind of replacements until the ex demanded that they go. I had mold everywhere, on the album covers, inner sleeves, the LPs…Now if I go to a record store to browse and there is the slightest bit of mold I am out of there pronto. |
