I love using these sleeves but never throw out the original one your record came with

[@MrTwixraider]

it depends. When it is not a regular white one, then I also keep them. But all whits whitout lining I throw away. The one with rice paper lining I keep.

[@TheVinylGuru]

Yes, i keep them for really cheap records so they still have housing.

[@bruhksns1043]

Not everyone re sells.

[@liamdertinger5705]

@@bruhksns1043 never sold a single one of my albums but some original sleeves have awesome designs, lyrics, and even ads. Best to store the record itself in a quality sleeve but never throw away the original...doesn't take up too much space anyways :)

[@omarcapaso7156]

Id say keep the original inside the jacket and use the ones on the video for keeping the record on the outside for easy access

[@Channel33RPM]

Awesome. Thanks for the shoutout. Mike is a great guy and I agree, his products are fantastic. Cheers Frank

[@QoraxAudio]

Hey Frank, good to see you here. Love your channel and looking forward to your review of your new Technics turntable! 👍

[@mq42]

If you are upgrading an old record collection to higher-grade inner sleeves, make sure you clean the records (if necessary) before changing out the sleeves. Putting a dirty record in the new sleeve will only transfer the dust/debris/paper fibers to the new sleeve.

[@Tang526]

How do you clean em

[@mq42]

@@Tang526 I use a cleaning solution/brush, haven't upgraded to a cleaning machine yet. But there are a lot of videos on how to clean LPs here.

I finally ran out out of outer sleeves and remembered you made this video. I came back so I could grab the link to these. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@lorenzonunez-estevez5495]

I recently ordered these sleeves. I can confirm, they are f***ing awesome. Build quality is great and they look really beautiful!

[@ElZillas]

Hey Vinyl Rewind! My first vinyls just came in today and I have been listening to them all day. Bought The Blue Album, Pinkerton, and EWBAITE since Weezer’s my favorite band. I became interested in vinyls ever since I saw your Pinkerton review and I’d like to start a vinyl collection so on my next purchase I’ll definitely take into consideration the sleeves you review here. Thanks for sparking my interest in vinyl collecting!

[@chadergeist]

That top tuck sleeves for the records could lightly scratch the surface, cause your scraping the edge of the plastic sleeve's flap across it.

[@jobarrios]

I agree, this is a great product, I have been using them for a few months and I am very happy with the results, thanks for the video!

[@TheVinylGuru]

Jose Barrios likewise. Sheer beauty.

[@sheeshman587]

What’s the name of those super crystal clear really thick inner sleeves ???? Can’t find’em on vinyl storage solutions

[@RighteousBrother]

I own no vinyl. Just CDs and digital for me, yet I love this channel.

[@rustyswinehammer9156]

Lets face it. Vinyl is laden with problems. Long live digital.

[@PopcornandVinyl]

Great video. I am definitely going to be getting these as my last batch of sleeves is almost out. They look really well thought out from a vinyl listeners perspective.

[@clogat537]

So I’m on the website and I’m not seeing the clear inner sleeve protector, did those not age well?

[@AXXXXA]

What kind of sleeves are you using for box sets? Specifically that Beatles Giles Martin Anniversary set

[@ujuice.5910]

Good video idea :D, Love from Australia :)

[@mazda9624]

Man I love these clear sleeves so much. Perfect foe keeping your records safe and visible.

[@baronsaturday951]

I still hesitate. With time, do you still prefer dual pocket outer sleeves with tuckable flaps or resealable ? the best channel for vinyl lovers !

[@PiotrGaczkowski]

A pink vinyl! I have "See Emily Play" and "Pink Panther OST" on pink records. But the most interesting release, I think, is a Prodigy album "Invaders Must Die" recorded as a collection of 7" singles.

[@rustyswinehammer9156]

Love it! Got to get me some of that! So tired of paper bits on my records. Thank you.

[@QoraxAudio]

To me, that looks like too much hassle. I'll keep using my MoFi and Diskeeper sleeves.

[@PumpkinPails]

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm new to this and that looked like a complicated mess.

[@mjallenuk]

Thank you for the update and the honest opinion on the options...

[@barryfarmer9591]

Took a look at the website and can't find the tuckable inner sleeves in this video (only the rice paper inner sleeves) and no response to email. Guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

I recently bought some of the tuckable outer sleeves. They are nice.

[@peepnox7747]

I love Vinyl covers

[@marianner.1340]

It's sad to see he's sold out. I was looking for inner sleeves but could only find the 'rice paper' sleeves. They are on a pre order basis AND won't be produced until August or September 2021. I guess it's the old adage, good things are worth the wait.

[@FrenchieCorndog]

Will be checking this out!

[@Jbones72]

I ordered some of the clear inner & outer sleeves, they're a nice product.

[@machiel5888]

I'm a firm believer in hybrid paper-poly sleeves at this point. The plastic ones shown here work great and look amazing, but would likely be very expensive, and over time may bubble or warp. My main gripe with rice paper or MoFi style inner sleeves is that they provide virtually 0 scratch resistance. Say you're replacing a record, and you place your vinyl into a rice paper sleeve and place it carefully on the table. While you're inserting it, your glasses slip off your nose and lands on your record or you accidentally scrape your watch/ring across the record. Nightmare scenario but accidents happen! Which sleeves would offer the most protection? MoFi sleeves wouldn't prevent any bumps, dents, or dinks from appearing in my opinion, whereas a thick paper sleeve with anti static plastic lining is the preferred.

[@mercurialmagictrees]

I agree with your perspective on the flap . I would be worried it would scratch or scuff the record. It looks sharp and ridgid but also very clear. I like soft HDPE inner sleeves for example the most popular is mofi.

[@vintageandvinyl]

These record sleeves are fabulous. I only use these and High Fidelity sleeves.

[@josierawk]

Hey, I don't know much about vinyl but why keep the vinyl out of their paper jacket? Like, is that a traditional method of storage? I've also seen sellers place the vinyl out of their paper jacket during shipping as well, if sold used of course, but never really questioned it until now. Thanks in advance!

[@abigaildevoe]

the record can get scuffed up/scratched when it comes in and out of the jacket (especially if you happen to play it a lot,) which is why lots of people store their records outside of the jackets. same principle for shipping, there's less of a chance of the record getting damaged if it doesn't get scuffed/staticky from the jacket. hope this helps!

[@k-dogg711]

Abby Wilson Huh. I guess I never looked at it this way. I always assumed it was to prevent wear on the jacket, or potential warping in shipping... not to prevent scuffs to the record itself. To me, putting the record in the jacket protects the record much more than a thin layer of a plastic outer/inner sleeve...

[@abigaildevoe]

K-DOGG you’re totally right, keeping records outside the jacket also prevents warping and ringwear

[@CoDgodgamertag]

@@k-dogg711 For me I always take it out of the jacket when shipping to protect the jacket as you said. When inside the jacket, if the box is thrown around it can cause splits to the sides of the jackets

[@cameronevanstheanalogueall7729]

Ring wear during storage. I've also had issues with seems splits during shipping. If they aren't packed tightly enough and left inside the jacked they shift too much.

[@dompeha540]

I see that Sljivovica behind you, are you yugo by chance??

[@vollsticks]

I am pretty devastated mike has stopped offering the ultra-clear inner sleeves. Lol I put all my most treasured gatefold LP's in the double-adhesive sleeve configuration. More space for those records in the front and back.

[@helgar791]

These are great sleeves indeed. I think the 4 mil resealables are the best on the market. I still think the Sleeve City Ultimate Inner Sleeves are better than any of VSS's. However, I generally buy a plain white record jacket, put the record in the jacket, place the manufacturers cover in the sleeve, reseal it, and place the white cover in the back flap. The crystal clear inners look interesting though.

[@aestheticaltwat]

Endtroducing is such an overlooked album. Glad you featured it!

[@iamjohnchristian]

Which one product is this? There's a lot of options inside the store LOL! :)

[@lukemartin7144]

You should make a video cutting th white. Album down to a single album rather than a double. Maybe get rid of some filler songs and add some good ones from anthology

where can i buy the outer sleeves?

[@industryfungi6778]

any thoughts on the new Sparks record?

[@arsife5]

Good video. I wonder if those inner sleeves will eventually scratch the record.

[@ganjazz]

Yeah I'd be too scared to use this inner sleeve. I love the outer sleeve though.

[@andreisavescu4665]

What is the name of the album showed at 5:27??

[@chadergeist]

I don't like a record out of the jacket. With all of the weight of the lp's...it will cause the record to leave a inner record ring wear from the edge of the record. Inner meaning the edge of the record is leaving a indentation on the surface of the jackets. Outer would be from the inside to the outside of the jacket, cause the record is pressing from the inside of the jacket towards the outside.

[@dontmakelemonade]

Would love those crystal clear inner sleeves. But they don't deliver to the UK. Oh well.

[@alansimpson100]

They do..I've just received 100 outer sleeves.. they're fantastic!

[@NoWaveVideo]

Love these outer sleeves, that's all I use. For inner sleeves I use marecordings.com, I wouldn't mind trying out these clear inner sleeves tho.

[@TheVinylGuru]

Dpmode78 it’s not all pr they really are killer.

[@davidheafield1436]

Too much style over substance , it becomes a trail endurance just to get to one record. A bit like feeling the need to put a condom over the condom that’s your already wearing , the moment will just dissipate in your eagerness to be safe.

[@ke6533]

Do you have any or used them? I have recently bought some of the single pocket with the tuckable flap. I kind of agree with the dual pockets, but they are great sleeves and they are crystal clear.

[@theneonchimpchannel9095]

When I saw the title, I thought this was going to be about the actual album covers. In which case I was going to say the worst cover design would have to go to David Bowie's Blackstar. That big cut out star section was just so annoying, I was always getting other records caught on it (eventually tearing it). I've since put it in a plastic sleeve which I probably should have done in the first place, but even so, it was a stupid design and didn't even look that good.
