moonbeams Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I've been trying to buy outer sleeves for record jackets, but when I get home, I realize that I've bought inner sleeves. Done this twice. First time I ended up with "Nagaoka" anti-static sleeves. Similar to these pictured: http://www.henryk.ca/Inventory%20Image/Sell%20New/43-Nagaoka%20Sleeves.jpg I inserted these into all the paper white sleeves. It's working well, but today I mistakenly came home with these other sleeves, but there's no brand. They are clear squares with a white paper side that's covered in plastic. Looks really cool for colored vinyl, but I don't know if they're anti static, so I'm sticking to the nagaoka for now? Any suggestions? I don't know much about record care. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattstrike Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Sounds like you got what are referred to as "rice paper" inner sleeves, modeled after the Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs sleeve (MFSL). Branded or not, they are generally anti-static and archival, so you should feel fine storing your vinyl in them. I like this type of inner sleeve better than the Nagaokas but it's really personal preference. As long as the sleeves are anti-static, you should be fine. My only suggestion is that you clean the records before putting them in new sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickey Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Simple paper innersleeves are just fine. They do no harm with normal use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helloworld Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 yeah those clear plastic anti-static sleeves are the best.. some can even argue that the paper inner sleeves can scratch the record.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
