Not bad either but on the pricier side. I’ve got about 20 of them.

Got these to try , was given this sample pack by the guy who owns the record cleaner company.

Wow :scream: thas a lot

I have been using what @RBO recommended and I need another pack. They are pretty cheap and are working well so far. Only time will tell though.

They are excellent, I clean the record then use these sleeves inside the original sleeve the record comes with. They are anti static, and do not split over time as some of the cheaper Chinese made c**p do.
Cannot remember how long since they started making them but it is many many years, not had one split ever.


Another thing I have been using for decades are these

I have a serious amount of catching up to :flushed:.
But don’t plan on trying very hard. I am quite happy with my mix of vinyl, digital download and CD’s
Still I have added about 30 Vinyl in the last 3 months and plan to continue at a slow but steady rate.

That is a higher rate per month than me for vinyl only, 55years or so of buying rather than your 3 months, but that does not include count of C.D’s and cassettes though.

Compared to normal folk I have a huge collection (about 5,000 albums) but here I am a mere trainee. It’s good to be that way and I get so many good recommendations from these threads.

In the time I have added the 30 vinyl I have probably added 100 CDs and digital downloads.

What can I say I :heart: owning music and supporting artists :+1:

You mean the abnormal people who don’t enjoy owning and listening to music.

Remember these:


First protective record sleeves I remember buying. Good quality and for a very good price, in other words, no audiophile markup.
Note the record in the sleeve. Probably my first album to get a protective sleeve.
