Down With Cover Slips<\/p>\n
Despite the time it took to accumulate, my collection of cover slips had to go back to the record store. Since beginning my personal stack in 2011, I thought it was terribly important to protect every record I ever bought with a plastic shield, but I\u2019ve changed my mind, and I\u2019ll tell you why.<\/p>\n
1) The artwork looks better without a raincoat.<\/p>\n
2) Your records from fifty years ago still look fine, and who knows the last time they wore protection?<\/p>\n
3) Try selecting and replacing records stored in a row on a shelf, where all you can see are the spines. It\u2019s terrible, and it\u2019s all because of the cover slips.<\/p>\n
4) It\u2019s plastic.<\/p>\n
5) The feel of a cover matters. Some feel so good you want to touch your face with them.<\/p>\n
Give her a try. Let your records breathe. I think you\u2019ll find the experience enhanced.<\/p>\n
