without even watching a second of this just based on the title and artwork all i can say is…. YES. OPEN THEM. OF COURSE. OPEN THEM. I buy music to listen to, not to put on my shelf and stare at. I can’t believe this is even a question. Now I will watch your video and maybe eat my words (but I doubt it.)

I doubt anyone in 84 would of thought of records as investment property. Remember before speculators and consumers stated jacking up valuations records had reached a low point in the 2000's. People were practically giving them away.

The shrink made me think

[@pinkfloyd.appreciation]

Keeping records in the original shrink would be a good idea in a perfect world, but the wrap wasn't intended to be kept on forever, a lot of records in shrink suffer plastic migration as do records in the old plastic outer sleeves that people used..polythene sleeves are best...

[@greysuit17]

Wait what are we protecting the packaging? Or the vinyl? Is this a collector thing protecting the packaging?

[@tastyrecordsuk]

I suppose some collectors leave the sleeve in the shrink to protect this from any storage wear that can incur over time!

Unless it is very rare, spin that baby...
