SpazzyMcGee Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yeah, I cut out all the hype stickers and slip them in the sleeves like extra inserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 This thread is insane. I cut off the shrink wrap and throw it in the GARBAGE along with everything on it, because it is GARBAGE. You are all WEIRDOS The only cool hype sticker I've ever seen is the one on the recent repress of Arthur Russell - World of Echo: laralaurent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Anyone try to peal off the stickers and put them on re-sealable sleeves? Im like at a 70% success rate with that. Blow dryer it is! 100% success rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+hecollec+or Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I do this with movie boxsets too. That 1/2 millimeter of plastic covering is integral in defending the product from dents & scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 A lot of people do it, but a lot of people are also weirdos. You are not alone in your loneliness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippielauryn Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Did somebody say shrink wrap... Like remove the shrink wrap and then keep that crap somewhere else?I slit the opening and will leave the shrink wrap on until it gets all janky, most of my records still have it on. I usually do this on the single LPs that are shrink wrapped; Otherwise, in the trash it goes. All my records get outer sleeves anyway. jerseydave77, Youinreverse, Satan and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviolentworld Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 i used to keep the shrink on when i first started collecting, until i had two lp covers that were ruined because the shrink stuck to the cover and ruined the artwork. i only have one album still in the shrink wrap and that's becuase it doubles the price of the record with the hype sticker.

fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I love when LPs are still in the shrink when I buy, but I still end up removing it. Of course I put everything in a poly sleeve. I used to save DL cards, but I redeem them (or post it here) and toss it. If I could get a hype sticker off, I stick it on my notebook. I used to stick them on my old night stand. The thing is covered in stickers, but it's in the garage now and I refuse to toss it haha.

HybridxReality Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Okay, so I think people misunderstood me and thought I just kept the shrink wrap ALONE. The only time I'll keep the shrink is when it has the sticker of the band and it says "limited edition" or whatever else. I don't just keep the pure shrink itself.

Koolhandnick Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't recall which thread I saw this in, but someone mentioned they used a blow dryer to loosen up the glue a bit and then removed the sticker and had good luck with that route. sounds like a lot of trouble...then again I can't recall how many times I've been pissed bc I ripped the sticker trying to peel it!

somethingvinyl Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I only keep the shrink on 10"s because I don't have any polysleeves for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my Oblivion shrink wrap crumble in my hands last night. Half of my gatefolds 2XLP's have never been unfolded. I finally unfolded it. Sad to see the wrap go.

travis Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I remove all shrink wrap immediately and put everything in a poly bag. Record stays in the dust sleeve and I put that behind the jacket. Easier to get to the record and prevents any extra seem splits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I like the idea, I don't know what you're doing to your records at home that may cause seam splits I usually keep my current rotation like that for easy access, but I've never considered putting them on my shelf like that.
