also....for the longterm, lp's are stored (by hardcore collectors)outside of the jacket to prevent 'ring wear'and 'spine splits'. I have records I have owned since I was a teen (hard to imagine I was ever a teen), and the covers are as 'mint' as the records. The LP should be stored in a proper inner sleeve, then slid into the outer bag that the cover is stored in, but not into the cover, unless you don't care about the appearance of the cover. the truth is, original mint covers are harder to find than the records themselves in many cases.
Store LPs outside of Jacket??
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this: I've been purchasing a number of used LPs and most of them come shipped with the actual LP (in sleeve) outside of the record cover.
Is there a good reason for storing LPs this way - or actually shipping LPs this way?
Thanks...
