AlexH. Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 So I'm shipping a 2LP with a gatefold sleeve, and I want to do the thing with leaving the records outside the sleeve, but I'm not sure how to place them. Inside the gatefold, both on one side of the outside of the sleeve, or one on each side? Am I even making sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfedaykinx Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 i think any of those will work fine. i usually put both records behind the jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Part of me says in-between, as to not crush the spine, but part of me thinks they might cause the spine to rip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentumlost Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 If you're really worried...cut a piece of cardboard and put it between the records...I like to make sure everything is snug and nothing rattles around...just in case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 If you're really worried...cut a piece of cardboard and put it between the records...I like to make sure everything is snug and nothing rattles around...just in case... but then again i have gotten gatefold 2xLPs shipped with the vinyl inside the sleeve with no damage. but i agree with the above statement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jailhouse Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Take them out of the sleeve. Get a razor Cut the spine lengthwise Bend the corners and take great care to fold the jacket in half Finally break the records into 4 equal pieces, put them in a manilla envelope and mail! Pain in the ass, but it really highlights the vintage look and appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
