Best Outer Sleeves for LPs

You know, i bought thousands of inner and outer sleeves from Sleeve City and found in the middle of the run there would be piles of outer sleeves that were too snug,then they would go back to the regular size.I got tired of making stacks of defective sleeves and returning them. I have gone with the least expensive outer sleeves from Square Deal.Their basic inner poly sleeves are fine too.From my experience in using lots of different sleeves over the years,it is a personal preference or even "vanity" issue on how you want your records to look.As long as the cover and record are protected.
Yes,forget about those resealable flap sleeves.I just know someone will post here that they have custom covers made with monograms to protect their Mantovani lp's. Everybody does hate Mantovani right? Is there someone brave enough out there to stand up for elevator music?

...I vote for "cubits" as a base-line unit of measure.

start with a batch from the princeton record exchange, then take it from there.

Hey Ghosthouse,

Interesting that you mentioned using cubits as a unit of measure. We tried that a few years back, but the funny thing was that no matter what type of structure we designed, be it a house, a store, or an office building, they always ending up looking like an Ark.
Weird, huh?! ;-)

By the way, to the topic at hand, I use the same 2.5 mil clear plastic bags that Rushton uses. These don't have the flap on top, but given that my records are put in sideways, and that they are in a record rack, there is very little chance that any dust can work its way into the record sleeve itself,so a flap just seems to be pointless in my case.

I use the Japanese mylar resealable http://www.elusivedisc.com/prodinfo.asp?number=JPNOUTERLP. I've used them for many, many years (20+) and there's never been a size or quality issue. Plus, they remain crystal clear.

More expensive perhaps, but worth it-at least to me.
