Hype Stickers On Plastic - Do You Keep Them?

[derby625]

Just curious about how people handle all the hype stickers that come on their new purchases. In the past I used to junk them but now keeping that little bit is helpful in knowing special info about the release. It's a good way to keep track and know if it's limited edition (ie Limited edition of 300 on Orange!!), through where it was released (ie Hot Topic), the vinyl weight (180/140/etc), and cool tracks to highlight.

 

I now cut those stickers out (I don't keep the ones that say it comes with the MP3 coupon) and put them in the sleeve.

 

EDIT:

I also catalog everything of mine on discogs. This includes scanning the hype stickers as a historical reference for these releases like this one:

I trash it all if I am going to open the release.  I have white labels I create that I put on their respective poly sleeves.  I also have a catalogue electronically.  Once you acquire over 5,000 records it's hard to keep track of things.

I also cut out the stickers on the shrink and keep them with the record but ditch the rest of it.

If it can peel off and the inner sleeve is plain, I'll stick it on. Otherwise I'll trash it.

I just trash it. I update my record list with that info so,I don't see a point in trying to save that portion of the packaging.

I trash them and then listen to the record

I was going to make a thread like this but I thought it sounded stupid and I would have been the only one. If I dont keep the shrink on the album, I usually remove the whole shrink and fold it to keep the stickers. I have done this with numerous albums.

i peel them off and stick them to the sleeve if i can't get them off then fuck it

If I can I usually just slit open the side so I can remove the disc. If I have to remove the shrink for whatever reason, I cut out the part of the plastic with the sticker and stow it in the jacket.

God I wish I could like this. I would like it so hard that my thumb would likely go through my phone.

5,000 records; 500 albums.
