cadetapplesauce Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (the paper covers some of the damage, i really don't feel like taking another picture. this one was taken for a project.) have you taken them out of the plastic sleeve that mike puts them in? this may have been a mistake on my part, of just storing it the way i did (leaving it in the sleeve, not keeping it upright--it was in a stack that was leaning against the shelf), but my redux test has marks allll over it. it really bums me out. even the ink from the certificate has been imprinted on the plastic sleeve. it was probably heat or something like that, but i find it hard to believe that heat got to it, since i keep my records in one of the coolest rooms in my house. and it was leaning against a shelf, but it wasn't at a ridiculous angle. it was more upright than the others, with it being so close to the beginning of the alphabet. since then i've put it in its own sleeve, and put that in an outer sleeve.

danthemjfan23 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 the first thing i do when i get an asian man test in the mail (and i have like 8 now or something) is take it out of that sleeve and put it in one that can breathe. those things seem to suffocate the record, and like you said, the ink from the certificate ALWAYS seems to come off at least a little bit. hope your record isn't too messed up...

jhulud Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Order some plain white sleeves...take the ceritificate out of the plastic sleeve in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 i'm playing my test right now. side one was fine, i'm on Message From Kathleen right now, and so far, all is fine. it sounds great, so its probably just cosmetic damage.

danthemjfan23 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 no no no... asian man puts their test presses in another kind of sleeve, they really cling to the vinyl and it can even sometimes be hard to get the record out of the sleeve. i'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's not just a regular polythene sleeve. if that's what you're using you'll be fine.
