    maybe 50% of the lps, not many of the 12"s.

    Roughly half. My 12"s only get sleeves if they have a sticker or interesting label sleeve, or if I have doubles and want to keep them together for playing out.

    A nice new crisp polysleeve will make any cover look better.

    But then, they get scratched and yellowed, and the covers start looking rinked, even if they are minty.

    So I change all the sleeves on my records every 6 weeks.

    I don't use them for generic label sleeves, dollar records, or most of the records I play out most often, though they probably need them the most.

    I'd say 40%.

    i'd say 50%, they're so necessary for the brazilian LPs that would just fall apart if they are packed into a crate next to others.

    all my lp's, almost no 12"s or 7", even though some of them certainly deserve it...and don't even get me started on those pesky 10" sleeves.

    african records too. i forgot that most of my hip hop and 12" records are not poly sleeved. my new estimate is %60

    99%. But I have my boys from the UK bring over those heavier and stiffer (no ayo!) PVC sleeves (no-sleeve-falling-out-of-shelf-whilst-filing-it-away-related)

    100% LPs, Maybe 25% 45s, I plan on doing 100% 45s at some point though.
  • magpiemagpie 160 Posts
    100% on LPs and 45s...0% on 10-inches
  • LoopDreamsLoopDreams 1,195 Posts
    Poly on 90% of OG's, 5% of Re-ish's.... on around 80% of the total. They've already saved my ass a few times with massive water spillage.

    i'd say only 50%. not a great look. plenty of 12"s unsleeved which throws the rate off a bit.

    though there are a few semi-raers that i have yet to sleeve, the real question to me is is it heavy 5.0 mm sleeve worthy? pretty much all the $50 and up ones get those or super hard to replace sentimental favs.

    10-20%. I'm about to change that . . . sleeves on order.
