Re: [ARSCLIST] 78rpm inner sleeves

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Probably great for LPs, although the majority of ten-inch albums were made so 
tight that there's no room for anything but the disc.

I repeat my point, as a collector for over 45 years, that shellac 78s should 
never be kept in plastic lined sleeves. I don't even like them for LPs any 
more. Has anyone else had problems with Franklin Mint LPs becoming very filmy? 
Would you believe I now clean them and then put them in thin PAPER sleeves (the 
lightest ones sold by Bags Unlimited) and insert those in the heavier plastic 
sleeves?

Bags' new 12" plastic lined sleeves are a dubious product..only two thin sheets 
of plastic inside, and they don't reach the edge, so there are going to be 
issues of paper vs plastic contacting the disc and probably issues regarding 
whatever adhesive they use.
