![]() ![]() Two of them form a pocket for the LP and the last holds in a layer or two of white rice paper. These have three layers of thin, smooth plastic. They're an upgrade over the cheaper 2 layer Diskeeper 2.0's. Sleeve City Diskeeper Audiophile or Mobile Fidelity Original Master Sleeves - These are essentially the same product get whichever is in stock at Amazon and cheaper. I don't like that they sometimes have rough corners. I like the texture of the plastic on these its soft and pliable and stiff enough to get stuff in and out easily. Good luck getting anything bigger in there. The sleeves themselves are big enough to fit a single gatefold, but feels tight with a triple gatefold. ![]() Like the inner sleeves, they are slightly cloudy, but I use them on my cheaper records, which tend to have more worn covers, so I don't worry about it much. Sleeve City 3.0 mil Budget Outer Record Sleeves - These are made of a much thicker and lower density polyethylene compared to the inner sleeves. I've looked at the Diskeeper 1.5, which I think are the same material with a round bottom to eliminate bunched corners, BUT I HAVE NOT TRIED THEM. When you slip them into the outer sleeve of older records that are a bit smaller than today's norm, the corners tend to bunch, and I really hate that. They get a lot less crackly static than some paper sleeves I used, and they are clear (frosted) so that I can see if I missed any crud or hairs that stuck to the outside of the record. Sleeve City Diskeeper 2.0 - These are essentially a plain polyethylene bag made for records. This stuff goes in and out of stock regularly and sometimes the only seller is a third party with the stuff marked up to twice the price. Amazon links to all the stuff I've used and liked (shilled?) below.īEWARE OF PRICE GOUGERS. ALL of my stuff gets washed, a new inner sleeve, and a new poly outer sleeve, but the dollar bin finds get cheaper inner sleeves. I sleeve my records according to how much they're worth, or how much I like them. ![]()
