Record Sleeve Recommendation

I got a great suggestion from over at Vinyl Asylum: Just fold the corners in on one edge. The sleeves slide in much easier. There are always a few jackets that were manufactured too narrow but for most of them the trick works great.

I'll mention again that the Sleeve City "Ultimate" sleeves could be fantastic and perhaps superior to the MoFi sleeves if they get the design/manufacturing problem fixed. MIGHT be worth a try.

Tketcham, I too used to use the Sleeve City "Ultimate Audiophile" sleeves but had about 100 out of 600 that were cut too small. I have since switched to the MoFi ones. Sleeve City did send me replacements though. The MoFi's aren't that much more money and it's just not worth the hassle. Last time I called Sleeve City asking if they fixed the problems they were waiting on new shipment.

Another vote for the MoFi sleeves. I am replacing all mine as I play the albums. They just seem to be the easiest to slip the record into and the price isn't that bad especially if you buy enough and get the 10% when Music Direct does the weekend specials. Can't replace the vinyl.

Yeah, the MoFi sleeves do snag on the jacket. Not all LP covers are exactly the same size, and the MoFi sleeves are on the big side.

But this small inconvenience is not that bad, considering the quality of the sleeves. That is why I use them. I have many many many of them in my collection.

I actually had the same problem with the Mofi Sleeves that Tom had with the Sleeve City sleeves. I but 100 of them, and about 20 of them were too narrow to hold a record. I bought the Acoustic Sounds Poly-lined sleeves after that.
