Re: [ARSCLIST] Fwd: [ARSCLIST] Westminster Lab Series
I only have a couple with the outer plastic.The problem I have,is the plastic becomes brittle,and falls to pieces.So I have a number of them with nice covers,and no outer sleeves.They seem to be rarely,if ever played,when I do find them though.

condition, David! I've seen a lot of them and I must say that what most impresses me
about what you wrote is that evidently the covers of the inside heavy
cardboard sleeve hadn't essentially liquified and adhered to the inside of the
plastic container bag. I've seen a lot of them with that problem. They've been a
gooey mess. In one or two cases I had no choice but to extract the record from
the container, put it in an anonymous sleeve, and throw the original packaging
away. It would be interesting to know what caused that problem: a chemical
reaction between the inner covers and the vinyl bag, temperature/humidity issues,
or what.
With that said, those Lab Series LPs did indeed have fabulous mono sound
and that Petrouchka (Scherchen conducting) is a great recorded performance.

Will wonders never cease? I came across a Westminster Laboratory Series LP
today whose packaging was intact, the zipper worked (didn't jam at the bottom),
and the disc inside the plastic sleeve was in near mint condition. Usually
these things show up destroyed, especially since folks would get fed up with
the thick plastic outer container and get rid of it, then find that the "album"
was just a foldover with no place to protect the disc. Even the pamphlet was
there. (W-LAB 7011, Petrushka, if anyone cares.)
