Record Seam Splits


I received an Esther Abrami LP in the mail this morning from Germany. The record was in tight shrink wrap and even though I took great care in opening it, three sides of the inner sleeve were split from the combination of the sharp record edges of the vinyl and the tight outer wrap. It wouldn't have bothered me so much except that the sleeve had the artist's photo and is an integral part of the package. Oh well, at least the record is black and not one of those garish colored ones. I bought one last week that was fuchsia with an orange label.

I have yet to encounter a paper inner sleeve which can’t accommodate a MoFi insert.

@roxy54 ...sounds like an inside job to me...

"Platter paranoia: Cruel cuts that never heel, or just bleeding edge B.S.?" *LOL*

After a thorough cleaning if the record came in a plain paper sleeve the record goes into a MoFi inner sleeve and if the original sleeve is printed it goes into the outer sleeve  pocket with the record. If the outer sleeve is a gatefold sleeve the original inner sleeve goes in the middle of the foldout. Original white paper sleeves get tossed.

If a record comes in a poly lined paper sleeve I am ok with using most for the record.
