Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I had the exact opposite problem with

Bags Unlimited's clear 3 mil inner sleeves...they are a bit too big and I have to work to get the record and sleeve back into the jacket. Some of those older, obscure record companies tried to save every cent...apparently making their jackets EXACTLY 12". Some record jackets, of course, are generously sized.

Too small, however...what a bummer. It's a shame you couldn't shrink them for use with 10" LPs. Luckily, I only have about 100 of those plastic sleeves left. When I've ordered sleeves in the past I always got 1000 at a time*.

The frosted sleeves (Pheonix) I bought from Sleeve City are perfect! I have to admit that a few (very few) have been a tiny bit tight, but not alarmingly so. After a slight bit of "forcing" the LP into the sleeve they were fine; the sleeve stretched out that micromillimeter (??) very easily. I'm very happy with those sleeves!

*I order them in large quantities because I've bought so many used records with no sleeves AND that I have an unnatural hatred for label cu-out paper sleeves. I've scratched more than one record when that label cut-out gets torn and the paper drags across the vinyl giving it a paper cut. I remove those sleeves with extreme prejudice.

If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!
