RE: Philips pressings classical

Thanks for bringing our attention to the disintegration of the foam padding in Philips box sets. This is indeed a problem as I found a couple of weeks ago when I opened my Sibelius/Davis/BSO set for the first time in 20 years plus.

The foam had turned into granules which were spread liberally throughout the box and across record surfaces.

However I think that you are too pessimisitic that the discs will " be ruined". A quick clean with my RCM, new inner sleeves, and all was well with them returned to the silent/close to silent surfaces that they had when I purchased them.
