How many sealed LP's do you have?

How about: I'm at the used record store, looking at an LP I think I want, buy it, get it home, only to find I already have it and didn't know it.. has happened more than once.

I have dozens but they're unopened only because I haven’t got to them yet. I obtain my LPs for listening purposes but some how don't have enough time to listen as much as I'd like. When my other half goes away on work related jaunts I'm able to listen at will, even to Sun Ra or Zappa or John Cage and those unopened LPs. Where did I put those suckers??

About 6 months ago I came across about 20 sealed Lp's, and decided to listen to a few of them.

What I found, was that more than a couple of them were warped due to the shrinkwrap.

I decided to slit the end of the shrinkwrap on a few of the Lp's so as to relieve the stress--

I am not sure if this is indeed a solution. Any thoughts on this being effective?

It is a major dissapointment to open a really awesome title and find nothing more than a frisbee :(

Now I have mixed feelings on sealed Lp's....

I grew up in the "Smoke 'Em if Ya Got 'Em" era, but I suppose many are worth more monetarily if left unheard.
