First World problem.
Record Seam Splits
I received an Esther Abrami LP in the mail this morning from Germany. The record was in tight shrink wrap and even though I took great care in opening it, three sides of the inner sleeve were split from the combination of the sharp record edges of the vinyl and the tight outer wrap. It wouldn't have bothered me so much except that the sleeve had the artist's photo and is an integral part of the package. Oh well, at least the record is black and not one of those garish colored ones. I bought one last week that was fuchsia with an orange label.

@lalitk I do the same thing. |
I, of course did something similar to the suggestions. The point is I did not want to discard the inner sleeve and that today's manufacturing defects and lack of quality control are unacceptable. Although I always put my new records through a good cleaning, there is no excuse for a new record to have visible dust and debris on it either, especially at the price we pay for them. |
