bigbruise Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I always remove the outer shrink wrap from new records, then use my laminator to encase the entire release - vinyl and all - to ensure it stays in prestine condition. I then use Lysol on an annual basis on each record to keep the laminate shiny and lemony fresh. Recently, I've begun applying a small expiration date tag to each release's top-right corner so I know when said record will spoil and need to be discarded. I highly recommend this ritual for any truly serious vinyl enthusiast. Troll approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedumb Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 This guy is extreme in his version of the hobby, but I can respect it. Would you jump at the chance to have your vinylss sealed and stickered again? http://www.discogs.com/user/saunders1215 I started collecting records about four years ago. I don't collect them so I can spin or scratch. I'm not a DJ. I like the beauty of music on vinyl. The inserts, the records, and the sleeves are like pieces of artwork. So many people buy a record, open it, play it, and I'll bet if you asked some of them if they could have that same record again, still sealed in the cellophane, with the sticker on it they would jump at the chance. I have never played a record on a turntable or record player. I'm of the opinion that if I want to listen to music there are several other ways to do it in these days and age. I know some people would disagree with me and that's fine. I collect still sealed copies of the music that I grew up listening to. My dream is to have twenty five thousand records some day. Each time I get a record it goes directly into a resealable plastic sleeve. Some day I would like to own a Record Store in Brooklyn, New York.

NapalmBrain Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 My wife may disagree that 179 is a handfull. I meant most of us started with even less than what you have, it's all about the journey and enjoying them as they come. 179 is by no means a small collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowtooth Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I don't see what's wrong with it. it's his stuff, who cares what he does with it? not how I choose to enjoy my records, but if it makes him happy, whatever B-dosia and Young Thug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 People will come in droves with VG and G+ copies of Lazaretto in hand, begging for water. He will look down and laugh as he strokes the shrinkwrap around his gold copy of a pristine virginal Great Gatsby OST. poweredbytrust, niblips, WAXXX and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 He will spit in the faces of plebs with RSD pressings of Elephant. Opened and sullied by the vulgar point of a needle.

The Vool Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 its fine to collect and not listen but you should open them up to see their beauty and whats inside or you maybe have a fake thats just a jacket filled with wet dangerous leaves. No, only open to verify color! BuzzersonKillwell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
