    Lunarjetman got a reaction from Jamie Rarity in Cleaning smudges off record jackets   
    For glossy sleeves I use plastic polish called Novus #1 - I used to use it a lot when I bought LaserDiscs back in the 90's - I used it on the discs themselves but then found out that it leaves the sleeves looking fantastic when applied sparingly and polished off with a soft rag. I always struggled to find it in the UK and had to import it from the US.
     
    I know some people use furniture polishes and and such like but for me, I thought they tended to leave a waxy residue, where Novus is anti fogging and anti static too. 
     
    Non glossy or rough coated sleeves are more difficult - the only thing I have ever found that worked for me was a really gentle rub with a white pencil eraser to remove some marks.

    Everyone, start hoarding tinned goods and woollens right now. The infrastructure of your country is about to collapse under the weight of internet traffic following this announcement
    (that's a +1 from me BTW and, finally, a 180g Burial pressing)

    It is possible if they don't work out good trade agreements between the UK and countries that will still be in the EU. At any rate none of these changes will come in until early 2019 at the earliest.

    Ran through most of the album. The quality is pretty decent overall. If you've heard the IYRTITL boot it's not as pitiful as that. The bass is real weak, so "Grammys" sounds shitty.

    I came here looking for a very specific kind of inner sleeve.

    Lunarjetman reacted to ExtraFox in UK vinyl deals   
    I ordered 8 records. All sent seperately (so my postie was a happy chap on the day seven of them showed up together). Three had corner dings / creases that were there before shipping (no damage to the mailer / stiffeners). All but one came between stiffeners (the one came naked). Not a big fan of their mailers. They seem like a cheap knock off of the Music Max ones.
     
    Different topic: Haven't seen anything here about the Tesco exclusive vinyl for Father's Day. Have I missed it? If not, they're selling four exclusive pressings; The Jam - Sound Affects on pink (appears to be totally sold out), The Clash - London Calling on green and pink, Status Quo - 12 Gold Bars on gold and Dexy's Midnight Runners - Searching For The Young Soul Rebels on green.

    One of mine has arrived and it was indeed a vinyl, but the others haven't come yet despite being dispatched at the same time. Hopefully they get back to you soon.
     
    Also, unfortunately the May code has expired, but you can currently get 10% off with dad10.

    I liked what I heard. Have ordered and paid for a couple of copies through bandcamp so hopefully the shipping costs to the UK should be covered. Thanks!

    My girlfriend's copy of Ziggy Stardust (record VG+, sleeve G) has a store barcode/price sticker on the back marked $1.99. The sticker is new enough that I suspect she picked it up in the late 90s or 00s and no earlier. If people were buying vinyl at the time like they're buying vinyl now, it probably would have been $10 easily.
