Many of my gatefold albums from the seventies or before come in that format. Most of them are bluegrass music. I just love to play them on my good old BSR with a ceramic cartridge tracking at about six grams or more. The sonics are to die for!

Harrison Labs have inline filters for about $30 a pair.Check out their site. Ebay has a listing with free shipping. Do a search for subsonic filters and it will come up!
