Obviously it's not the vinyl. Yes, the jackets got damp & since they are paper based there is only one thing that will work. Remove the vinyl, then place the jacket out in the hot sun!! a low humidity day is best & lay flat on a raised rack surface, 1 hour per side should do it!!
Bringin' that thrift-store smell home
For the past few months I've been avidly (my friends say compulsively) searching the local thrift stores for LPs. I've found some great recordings, but as I accumulate more and more of them I'm finding that my house is smelling more and more like a thrift store. I expect that many of the LPs I've bought have been stored in damp places and have become moldy, even though they look fine.
Has anyone else faced this problem? Any ideas for deodorizing LP jackets? Thanks.
