The analogy is nearly accurate, though.
Over time (and it didn't take long.) The inner sleeves would get fused to the record, leaving gunk behind that you can't clean.
The road to Hell is paved with old FFRR inner bags.

bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2016 | | Classical ItemEnglish Opera Group - The Burning Fiery Furnace | Worth noting that Mr Tear was Pears' understudy at one time.
His book "Tear Here" has many hysterically funny anecdotes about that. Worth seeking out a copy. It's an excellent read.

bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2016 | | Classical ItemVarious Artists - Masterworks Of The Baroque | You could try a Zero Stat gun.
I live in an environment with year-round static. I've got a cork mat and even that does nearly nothing to control the problem.
I may have to move. ;-)

bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2016 | | Classical ItemLondon Symphony Orchestra, Istvan Kertesz - Dvorak: Symphony No.8 | On the topic of Decca's vinyl quality, I'm wondering when they switched to the 'streaky vinyl' formulation.
Under strong light, there is an odd black and grey sunburst pattern to many of them. At first I thought it might be a remnant of the poly lined sleeves, but apparently it isn't.

bobzyeruncle 6th Aug 2014 | | Classical ItemDaniel Varsano - Satie Piano Works | How are these, compared to the Ciccolini recordings?
|
bobzyeruncle 6th Aug 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Shadows - Surfing With The Shadows | Can't picture Hank Marvin on a surf-board.
|
bobzyeruncle 3rd Jul 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumLos Auténticos Decadentes Orquesta - Los Auténticos Decadentes Orquesta Presentan Clásicos Inoxidables | Is this as interesting as I think it might be? :smile:

bobzyeruncle 16th Apr 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Swinging Erudites - Unchained Parodies | Off to the 'auction site' to look for this! :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 15th Apr 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumXTC - White Music | In total agreement with Lee on this one.
Can't help thinking that it has far less in common with "New Wave" than it does King Crimson, though. Their Prog roots were definitely showing here.
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Apr 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Rocking Sound Of The 60's 1 | Melvis And His Gentlemen. Best group name ever!
|
bobzyeruncle 4th Apr 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumBee Gees - Children Of The World | Interesting typeface!
CBS/Columbia pressing?

|
bobzyeruncle 27th Mar 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumBoz Scaggs - Silk Degrees | The second most prevalent record in American second-hand shops after Herb Alpert & TJB's "Whipped Cream & Other Delights". (Both great albums, I'd say. :happy: )
|
bobzyeruncle 27th Mar 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumMary Wells - Bye Bye Baby | Added first pressing labels. Motown used these only once, IIRC.
|
bobzyeruncle 3rd Feb 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumHere And Now Band - Chart Busters Volume 5 | A6 was the legendary 'lost track' from Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 23rd Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumLes Compagnons De La Discothèque De Paris - Cocktail Variétés 2 | I'd love to hear this series!
|
bobzyeruncle 23rd Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumJohn Lennon - Live In New York City | Titles on the label are transliterations from the English and not translated into Greek. Fascinating!
|
bobzyeruncle 21st Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumDavid Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name | A veritable cornucopia of San Francisco talent, with members of Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Santana making musical contributions.
|
bobzyeruncle 20th Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumAlexis Korner's Blues Incorporated - At The Cavern | Wasn't this nearly the last Oriole release before they were made redundant by CBS?
|
bobzyeruncle 19th Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumLittle Richard - The Explosive Little Richard | This is the South African issue.
|
bobzyeruncle 17th Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumElmore James - Blues After Hours | The matrix gives this away as a product of the stable of Victor labels. Love the design, btw. Someone in their art department had a very good grasp of the retro ethic!
|
bobzyeruncle 17th Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumRush - Moving Pictures | The closest Rush has come to a radio-friendly pop album. Perfect in nearly every way.
|
bobzyeruncle 17th Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Band - Music From Big Pink | Bob Dylan painted the sleeve. (Who just said "Glad ya kept yer day job, Bobby"?!)
|
bobzyeruncle 15th Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumLos Shakers - Rompan Todo!!! | First entry by the Uruguayan Beatles. Ole!
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Astronauts - Surfin' With The Astronauts | Got a US copy of this in the stacks. I'll post it if I can fish it out.
|
bobzyeruncle 10th Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Beatles - Sessions | Released on a plethora of fake EMI labels. My copy has a different sleeve on what I'll call 'Faux-Deon'. :laugh:
|
bobzyeruncle 7th Jan 2014 | | Vinyl AlbumArthur Smith - Original Guitar Boogie | Nice vintage Fender Mustang on the sleeve!
