Outer Record Sleeves for 12 Inch Vinyl Records (25, 12 Inch Standard)

These are very think clear sleeves for your albums. These fit over the outer cover. They are designed for albums that consist of a single disc only, and fit tightly. They do not fit gatefold covers, nor do they fit double LPs. The sleeve quality is excellent. The plastic is very clear so you can see everything on the jacket clearly, and they are substantial. They definitely provide far greater protection than the typical thin sleeves. I will definitely be purchasing again when I need more.

This is the best money that I'v spent on my record collection, at first i was hesitant to spend the extra cash on these. I'v always kept all my albums in plastic sleeves which is great because they are mostly in great condition. I've been collecting and playing records for about 20 years. The sleeves had become really hard to see thru. Just recently I moved and decided to clean all and replace some of the more worn sleeves.When I got these and started putting them on I decided to order more and replace all my sleeves. It's a major upgrade, now I can clearly see the album art and even read the edge labels. Cheaper sleeves stretch out, slip around and are hazy to look thru. I have a feeling that these will age much better than the old ones and protect the album more too.Also they add more protection than the cheep ones. They have a stiffness that adds structural integrity to protect the cover.I only wish that they made a larger size for double and triple albums. Most double albums fit very tight but do fit, triples don't fit, I use other sleeves for those.The other thing that is great is that replacing my sleeves removed most of the old record smell from the room!

I got the combo pack because I only needed a few standard an 2 oversized one, anyway they both fit great they are nice an thick as well. The only reason it dont get 5 stars for me is that there isn't a flap to fold into the protector that would of made these 5 stars but I just taped the lip down so no dust will get in. They really are amazing vinyl protectors and at a reasonable price. I would defenintly recommend these. They standard one will fit a single vinyl with no gatefold but it will fit a single vinyl with a gatefold very tightly. The oversized fits my double album vinyl with gatefold perfectly. Hope my review helps anyone trying to buy these. (UPDATED) To my surprise the company read my review and and saw how taped down my lip and sent me out the same pack I purchased only with a flap so I didn't have to take it down. Truly a customer friendly company they defenintly surprised me when I came home to another package of vinyl sleeves. So I take my 4 stars an give them 5 because other than me taping the lip that was my only issue an now I don't have to use tape with the new ones they sent!!!

These sleeves are super heavy duty and fit snug, they seem to offer a higher level of protection than other sleeves I have tried. Clarity is also top notch, of all the sleeves I have tried record spines are easiest to read through the seam with these. They are open on one end so dust protection is not as complete as the sleeves that have flaps (but the snug fit helps, Groove Vinyl does indeed make a version with a flap, I'll have to try those). There is not much in the way of give so good luck getting gatefold covers in these (Groove Vinyl also makes a larger gatefold/double LP size). I like these for albums that are in pristine shape and with spectacular cover art. They are expensive though so I give them 4 stars, if my budget would allow me to be only concerned with quality I'd easily give 5 stars. I have not heard of the material they are made from (vinyl) being reactive with cover inks or paper (possibly a concern with polyethylene - not sure I spelled that correctly - sleeves especially at higher room temperatures and with the acidic cardboard stock used on some older album covers) These appear to be a good choice for valuable collectibles, provided they fit.(they may not on some larger older album jackets like Mercury Living Presence or RCA Living Stereo, the larger version would likely work). Be advised that as these are made from vinyl they can store surface static electricity just as a record can, should not be any more of a problem than is already posed by the records themselves. Now the best thing to do would be for us to abandon our stupid computers and spin some vinyl to feed our souls -- enjoy -- whatever your musical taste may be.

Made of crystal clear shiny "archival" vinyl so the album art shows wonderfully. Really lets the album art shine! Seriously. I've had my albums in these cheap record protection outer sleeves for years and they always depressed me by how "baggy" they looked and felt. These are like shiny clear raincoats or a thin clear shower curtains or something... I believe if and when they get dusty they will be easily cleanable and they definitely seem durable. I was able to fit a 180 gram gate-fold LP into one pretty easily if anyone is wondering. I just wish this company will eventually come out with a wider version for box sets.I am of course all excited now to finally be able to see my record covers after years of looking at them through the equivalent of thick sandwich bags. I just got these so I haven't really tested how they will work out in the long run but I expect that they will perform admirably. I will update this review if anything goes amiss. Right now I'd just like everyone to buy some so the company will stay in business because I'm not sure I could ever go back to the horrible days of those other outer sleeves...So buy them! Use them to store CD's! worried about wet socks? Wear them on your feet! They look waterproof! Protect your eyes from spiders with them! They might hold juice! Great for storing vinyl but why stop there?
