I carefully cut plastic wrap at the access side and tape plastic wrap over the edges to inner side of the album jacket, so album will stay in its original wrapping but the disc is actually reachable. It’s actually helps to preserve album jacket for long time and keep nice fresh look of the album over the years.
What is the first thing you do when you unwrap a new vinyl record?
That is, apart from kiss the person who gave it to you!
You might play it, catalog it, archive it, clean it or simply store it. I am sure there are many other things you do!
