I certainly wouldn't argue that paper is able to breathe.
The only problem I have is that LP's are not made of wood. Why would a slab of plastic breathe, do you put them away wet?.
I have experience of LP's in poly and paper liners, I can find no evidence of moisture

A lot depends on your environment. It's not unusual for my room to hit 70% humidity, I bring it down to 40%. Many rooms will see 60% (mine's in a cellar). As I said, I use poly-lined but keeping anything in plastic when not inserted in low humidity and then fully sealed could lead to a problem in years to come. I'm thinking here more of records I have which are worth a fair bit but don't really get played.I certainly wouldn't argue that paper is able to breathe.

At my age I think it will take more than a piece of music - I think we need a playboy smiley.There could be, David, if you got rather 'excited' listening to a particularly engrossing piece of music!

I can understand that extra care for expensive/rare recordings is important.
I have heard of an organisation that is trying to save rare recordings, does anyone know what lengths they go to (is there a link?).
