For those who have glassjaw W+T on vinyl, have you put the record in a different sleeve? If not, what did you do to clean the plastic off the record? Something like this

[rooks]

there's another thread about this somewhere.

mine is the same, still sound alright but still really shitty

[SaviorSelf]

I have the white and I have same problem.

[ForSunday]

PVC outgassing, this is why you don't put records in PVC covers.

[kpumaorn]

word. i should have known better and searched, my bad

 

both my white and black copy are like this, pretty sure im going to sell one now because of it...fooey

[siberiankiss]

bought a white copy on discogs about a year ago and it had the same problem. really disappointing.

[andrewlucas]

it was a cool idea to have it like the cd, but I would be happy with a normal cover too.

[mss614]

If you don't want it anymore I'll gladly take it off your hands

 

But seriously, those plastic sleeves are just awful on so many levels.

[firefoxUSSR]

I put both of mine in mfsl sleeves for that reason.  I knew that shit would happen.  Heck my black one is in a mfsl sleeve in a promo jacket from one of my used (and edited) dead prez records.

Yep, I was stoked when I found a white sealed copy a couple of months ago and the same thing... apparently pretty common. I heard Goo Gone might help so I went to the store and all they had was a generic version. Tried it. It MELTED the grooves clean off! This still makes me sick to think about it :'(

[firefoxUSSR]

has anyone tried mfsl record cleaning solution?

[jaxvinyl]

Same issue here. Glad I'm not in the minority. Would love to hear some advice regarding a cleaning solution!

[TFP]

Dang, this is making me think about resleeving some of my pic disc singles.

[Buffbloom]

Would it be possible replicate the issue on a small, 20 dollar bin records scale? Can you buy the cover material, replicate the issue on the cheap records and then attempt different cleaning methods?

It's not the sleeve that did it, it's the material they made the clear insert out of. Hence only one side being damaged.

That's a great idea. But why $20? Go to the Goodwill and get one of their many $4 titles with craptasticklassiks like Andy Williams/Englebert Humperdink/Anne Murray records.

 

Not classical though, that's cool shit.

 

I'm going to check on my white copy of W&T, that was in the original sleeve for a few months unlike the black copy.  I wonder how long it takes for the stickiness to ruin the record.

[serum7]

Fire will get that off.

[chrisapple]

Mine is the same way. I thought I was the only one. And to the goo gone guy above me ::ouch!::

Thanks for sharing that tip back when it would have helped

My copy is fucked too. Sounds like a GITD record. Glassjaw + vinyl = heatbreak and frustration.

[kurt]

I saw this being an issue so I put the actual record in a generic sleeve as soon as I got it. Even still there was a small amount of gunk on the record, but after I played it through twice it seemed to be almost completely gone. It's worth noting though that I bought the record the day it came out so it was in that awful sleeve/insert for the least amount of time possible.

[Neanderthal]

Was this repressed or are all you guys cool cats?

[nothingnatural]

I've been dealing with the PVC sleeve bullshit since the 90's. I always put the record in a different inner sleeve right after purchasing any that come in a PVC sleeve. I thought it was common knowledge that PVC sleeves are no goods for records. 

[andrewlucas]

cool cats.

[codeine]

Fuck this, I haven't checked mine, but from what I'm hearing it probably has the same issue... putting it up for sale. White vinyl.

Aaaaand I think if I'm gonna piece out my glassjaw stuff... I might as well sell my copy of EYEWTKAS (sealed) and 1st press All Good Junkies Go To Heaven 7" (GJ88) + Jesus Glue 7" (GJ89) + sealed 3 gj adaptor set.
