How To Keep The Shrink Wrap On Record Lp When Opening

[@grandtostada2765]

I recently just started collecting all kinds of vinyls, and I never knew you could open them while keeping the wrap on until I bought a record pre owned off of another collector. I have tons of vinyls that are completely wrapped, but now I can actually listen to them without completely opening them, so thank you for the tutorial!

I have opened records this way but damaged the inside because the blade was too far in when I cut. I have damaged other records trying to get the wrap off too. Now I get nervous when records come in plastic wrap. I prefer them without. ha ha. Although it's nice to have the wrap on the record to protect it, I find that it's not as nice to look at the album art cover with old wrinkly shrink wrap on it. I just use my sleeves and hope for the best. But thanks for the vid, I'll try your technique sometime. If done carefully like demonstrated it will surly work fine.
