Appreciated the recommended sleeves. Helps a lot to prevent dust build up.

[@AndyFenstermaker]

Awesome! Glad you found it useful! I need to pick up more of the inner sleeves myself…

[@Bootradr]

One thing to mention is NOT using the PVC record sleeves and of course why.

[@AndyFenstermaker]

Yes! Good point. So notorious with picture discs...

[@marksalazar4207]

@@AndyFenstermaker What's the issue with picture disks? Any issues with marbled disks?

I'm new and got a stupid question what's the best way to store double or triple LP? On that same note how would you go about storing double and triple LP outside of the jackets on those ones? Lastly what are the bast way to Orientation the outer sleeve like you have it or with the spine at the opening? Thank you for the video and keep up the hard work!

[@AndyFenstermaker]

The double LPs should fit in the standard 3 mil outer sleeves, even with the vinyl outside of the jacket. Some might get a little tight, but I have plenty that fit nicely. The triple LP is a different matter. I only have a few of these and have typically housed them in an oversized sleeve that came with a different record in my collection. You can also check with your local record store if you have one. Sometimes they have some you can pick up. Worst case scenario, there are record sleeves for box sets, but those might be too big: amzn.to/4fQjWR4

@@AndyFenstermaker Thank you for the info and the quick reply thank you again, I'll have to check them out and give them a try and I've been using the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vinyl record protection pack comes with 25 outer sleeves, 25 inner sleeves. Sadly here where I live the closest record store is a 45min drive to get there but It's a fire little record shop.

we are at 70-72 degrees, is that ok?

[@AndyFenstermaker]

Absolutely. My 76 degrees might be a bit warm for some folks and sits a little north of the higher end of the ideal range, but I find it comfortable. I think the ideal is probably between 65°F to 70°F (18°C to 21°C), so you're at the upper end of that which should be OK.
