If you're like me, you never gave away your vinyl record albums. There they sat, away in the closet for quite a few years--until recently when I started taking them out, dusting them off and enjoying some of those great sounding vinyl records! These see through plastic protectors for the vinyl record albums really help protect them. They also allow you to see the entire record album instead of just having a hole in the middle through which you can see just the record label.

A lot of time when I purchased records at flea markets they only came with the cardboard record jacket; this made me concerned that the actual records themselves were not sufficiently protected against dust and other elements. These plastic sleeves are actually rather well made and they protect my cherished record albums very well. The plastic also protects your records from light scratches or scuff marks that a regular, unlined paper sleeve can cause.

The plastic sleeves always fit easily into the cardboard record album jacket. I usually place the record in such a way that although it's covered by the plastic sleeve I can just pull it out of the sleeve and the jacket. Other people may prefer to have the open slit of the plastic sleeve facing away from the outer slit of the record jacket for even better protection of their vinyl.

I can't really think of any downside to these plastic record albums sleeves. They do a wonderful job of protecting your vinyl.

4.0 out of 5 stars workable, but a little snug, May 20, 2010

These sleeves do what they claim, more or less. The heavy plastic is better than the flimsy light plastic that originally came with some of the records, but they still are not as easy to use as the plastic-paper composite that the more expensive records used (e.g., Angel, DGG, Phillips, RCA Living Stereo). My biggest gripe is that they are a little too snug; they should be about a millimeter or two larger in width, to give you just enough room to get your hand in to extract the record. Also, the plastic seems to stick to the record more than the plastic they use to line the composite sleeves. Maybe this is just a function of age, however, and will improve with time as the plasticizer volatilizes.

If you're serious about keeping your vinyl in great condition, especially your titles pressed on 180 gram vinyl, this product is a must. A great replacement for old paper sleeves that are worn and/or torn.
