The Who ‘Live at Leeds’ is a real challenge for re-sleeves. It’s delicate paper cover and loads of inserts. I use a gatefold outer, slot the inserts into each side, keep the vinyl in a new poly inner.

You are certainly not wrong. Great video, well spoken. The only thing I don't do is put the record outside the original outer sleeve, I believe the record came in card material for a protective reason, so I store them that way. I also use unbranded MoFi style sleeves. Enjoy the music. Maybe one day I will get over to England and visit your store.

Some of my records had been in those hard plastic sleeves since the early 70s. I’ve got away with it as far as them doing any damage but I’ve replaced them all with the softer style ones now. Further to your last video showing the damage these can do, there’s a KZbin video on the Now Spinning Magazine showing the damage done to some of his records.

Great video 👍.. The Beatles white album you have there,, is it a mono first press top loader??

[@tastyrecordsuk]

It was one of Sol's from home so not sure but I will ask him

[@tastyrecordsuk]

It is a Stereo toploader! Number is in the 300,000 region

[@johnfloydman7735]

Cool 👍 Picked up a mono top loader no2100's about 25 years ago for about £5 as I remember... Sounds amazing. Thanks for the reply 👍

I thought you weren't supposed to touch the actual vinyl itself when handling?!
