also i wanted to ask you guys, how do you store your vinyls?

I have a kallax from IKEA and they all go there.  Working on getting protective sleeves for every release, right now they are just on a handful of my more expensive records

That's the one I'm playing and I'm gonna keep the new one in perfect condition (opened though cause I don't like keeping the shrink-wrap closed, it's destroying the jacket over time which would be ironic in this situation)

I bought a record on Discogs for the first time since I got ripped off trying to buy Halcyon Nights.

 

This one was the YYYs It's Blitz after seeing them in concert on Sunday and hopefully we're back to the normal shipping process from Discogs

I keep them in my Kallax from IKEA (filled 12 cubicles so far)

 

When I get a new vinyl I cut the shrink-wrap to take the pressure off the jacket. But only so much that I can remove the vinyl itself. 

 

Then I put the jacket into a new outer sleeve. The opening of the outer sleeve is on top. Then I put the vinyl itself behind the jacket into the outer sleeve.

 

That way you can remove the vinyl without touching the jacket and to avoid ringwear.

i take off the shrink wrap, put any and all stickers on the front cover (wherever they look best in)

i clean the record(s) with this then put the discs in this and put that in the cover jacket then put the full thing in this

then i put them inside of my closet either in a milk crate or on a shelf. ive been running out of room tho, so i put some of my more recently arrived records in a storage bin next to my closet.

which reminds me i need to get more sleeves

I think my softscars got warped because of the shrinkwrap btw, it was very tight on the jacket and it got bent over, and probably the record itself got warped along with it. I heard that this could happen if the vinyl is also subjected to heat

Yeah, that's a pity. These things can also happen when the pressing plant is hurrying the production and won't wait for the vinyl to cool down. That often happens with gatefolds especially, cause they get bent by *surprise* the gatefold closing.

The upcoming RSD is so boring. 
Sia is literally the only interesting release on the list.

Yeah, I can see how this could happen.

Luckily Juno has said that they would send me a replacement :gaycatina1:
