Record Sleeve Recommendation


Any useful recommendation regarding record sleeves?

I've read the MOFI's can snag and the generic polylined sleeves leave a small portion of the record exposed....

Thanks

I really like the poly lined square paper sleeves the best. I just received another 100 of them from Acoustic Sounds this morning. These are the ones that leave a small opening on the top, BUT, I have NEVER had a problem with any records getting scratched or damaged or even smudged.

They go in and out of the record jacket very easily without bending. Also the record goes in and out of this sleeve quite nicely. Most of the exposed record is the "lip" or lead-in groove that has nothing on it.

I have used thousands of these and wouldn't use anything else...
Myles,

Thanks so much for the article. I am going to try the Record City sleeves and see how I like them. As I stated above, I have always had great luck with the poly lined/paper backed sleeves, but I'm willing to try something new...thanks!
Tom,

Thanks for the warning. Yes, those were the ones I was talking about. I have bought many of the Mobile Fidelity sleeves that you and several others have recommended, but I just don't like the way they go INTO the record jacket. They tend to bend and fold over like Myles says in his article. Coming out of the jacket is no problem, just going in. That's why I really like the paper/poly sleeves, but I might try the MOFIs again...
I realize that this thread is kinda old, but I've completely switched over to the "Ultimate" Audiophile sleeves from Sleeve City.

I have purchased well over 2000 of these and they have all been perfect. If they did have a sizing problem before, they have corrected it. I have yet to have even one be bad.

These are the BEST sleeves that I have ever used and I have a massive record collection.
