dstrange Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Recently at a friends I noticed he store all his vinyl in the sleeve but out side the jacket to protect against 'ring wear' over time on the jacket. Does anyone else do this? Is there any disadvantage to doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipc Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Ive thought this too. Ive started storing them in their inner sleeve but outside the jacket. Ive thought about ring wear but i do it mostly because i put the jackets in the poly sleeves spine out. Its just quicker this way and im a little lazy.

markok Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 All my 700 records are like that - in their inner sleeve but outside the jacket. I use the clear PVC plastic sleeves of course too. The only disadvantage is that the jackets doesnt look as cool when you are browsing them and records overall take more shelf space. But if you are listening to a record, you will take the inner sleeve out anyway, so all is good. And the main reason - no splits or tears or ringwear whatsoever.

youspinmeround Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I keep them in a homemade outer protector that has a lock on each record. I than store the record in a completely different room to avoid any type of same room, or gasp same jacket, ringwear that might exist. Both rooms are perfectly climate controlled and are guarded by two former Navy Seals(4 in total-12 hour shifts each) around the clock. Should I actually want to enter room, I am debriefed and desanitized. I have special shoes I also wear in the room to not cause any static electricity, you know because that is much easier than using a cleaning static brush. The sad part is, I rarely ever enjoy the music on my turntable. I just got into this "hobby" so I am ask about storage methods, inner and outer sleeves, needles, record cleaning and wear.

rm Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I actually go one step further and put them in generic outer sleeves, but still put them in the same poly bag. However, it doesn't work for double LPs so the generic outers reside in a separate poly and stored right next to the jacket. This is probably overkill, but considering the amount that i move, i think it will do just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep my jackets in an airtight vault that has no light so that the jackets stay pristine. There's no less than 3 biometric locks to get into the vault plus a rotating squadron of navy seals that guard it. For the actual vinyl I keep it in a seperate airtight vault in a different city with the same type of security, but different biometric locks. I never play the vinyl because even with the best equipment it degrades it when you play it so why bother. nyhi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtz Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The jacket is meant to store the record in. That is not what causes ringwear. Storing the record outside is just a silly newjack trend. circuit bored records, GradedOnACurve, sjb2k1 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabe005 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Isn't the real issue keeping the records too tight together? I would think if you store your records with some 'space to breathe' than ringwear shouldn't be much of a concern right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotfactory Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I store my records fairly tight on the shelves, with the records inside of the jackets (where they belong) and i have never had an issue with ring wear. i honestly assumed people stored records outside of the jacket for easier access to play them. i didn't think it had anything to do with ring wear.

nothingnatural Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The jacket is meant to store the record in. That is not what causes ringwear. Storing the record outside is just a silly newjack trend. Not really. I've been keeping the record out side the jacket within the sleeve since I was a little kid. I do it to have quick and easy access to the LP. I find it funny that people start to scowl and critique anyone who does something a bit differently than them with their LPs. The method I use is just a personal preference and I'm not worried about ring wear/seam splits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickrunner18 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 What would you guys reccommend for extra-terrestrial record storage? I sent some to the moon recently and well, I'm not sure that they made it okay. The USPS tracking isn't working, and I think it would be bad if they just sat on the lunar surface. Should I get a moon-fi sleeve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I like to place the LP behind the jacket for single pocket jackets and in between the gatefold on gatefold jackets. I do it for easy access but I also turn the dust sleeve with the opening to the right to prevent excess dust from falling in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
