I don't like to use plastic sleeves on my records. There, I said it.
I can't stand how each record slides around on my shelves with the added slick-ocity of the plastic. Especially since I don't have backs to each shelving compartment. So it makes it really hard to keep them all lined up on the front edge. Plus, it's super hard to read each record with all that extra packaging. Maybe things would be different if I had some sort of bin system/situation going on, but I don't. I have IKEA shelves and I like to see the colors and names and spines touching as close as possible without all the distraction. Will this wear down the covers over time? Probably, but will I get less upset every time I take a record out and then put it back in? Most definitely.
Maybe if I kept fewer records in each cubby. Doubt I'll try that any time soon. Unless someone can tell me, without a doubt, that if I keep this up my records will be unplayable in 20 years... Unless that happens, I'm gonna keep on truckin'.
Also, I relegated my Prince and Prince related albums to their own cubby. They deserve it. My 80's pop was overflowing, so something had to be done.
SLEEP.
