Kujako Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 So I'm finding more and more often that the sticker on my new LPs are off center... makes my OCD itch. What's the thinking on this in general? Is it better to leave the sticker alone, or peel it off and do without? Anyone know of a good printable sticker kit to make replacements?

If it’s not actually interfering with the grooves/music on the record, then there’s absolutely nothing to worry about.

No This Is Patrick Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Got one on one of my favorite records/albums ever unfortunately (Mae "The Everglow")... luckily it's on side D (with the 10+ minute song), I just have to remember to take the needle off before it starts running through the label.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 What you want to do is take a paint scraper, start at the furthest groove out toward the edge, make sure to press down reeeeally hard, and just go until you reach the label. Should get under it nice and easy and peel right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) When the center labels are even a fraction off center it completely degrades the audio quality. A true audiophile can hear it like nails on a chalkboard. Unless you're using a Crosley just throw those records in the trash.

monsterrod Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Melt the records and form them into bowls. A tasty bowl of cereal doesn't care where the center label is. Group Buy Guy and youspinmeround 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It annoys me when the label is off center, but I wouldn't recommend removing it. I also wouldn't make replacements. If you remove the label or try to replace it, you'll probably decrease the value of the record. Use a razor and trim any parts of the label that obstruct the sound. Leave the rest however it happened to be placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
