There's nothing worse than spending £20 on a new bit of vinyl only to find it is welded to the paper sleeve and then scuffed to buggery by the time you remove it. So here's an obvious trick to help. Mofi sleeve required.

Luckily, surface scuffs don't play back. Putting them into Nagaoka anti-static sleeves after first removal is an absolute must. It's my ritual with every new record, they will never stick again

Clever bugger

You can't do that trick easily with Nagaoka sleeves - they crumple too easily.

But then I have never had trouble with paper scuffs.

Agreed, Barry, but once inside the original inner sleeve, with the two used together, they usually behave.

Yes, you have to put the LP into the Nagaoka sleeve first , then the two into the original paper sleev. A dab or two of 'Prit' paper adhesive can help prevent the two sleeves separating.

Mofi | VRP | Goldring Exstatic | Nagoaka

choice is good

Yes; certainly the Mofi and VRP seem to be exactly the same thing.

Both the VRP and Goldring Exstatic sleeves are better than the Nagaoka.

[MartinT]

Better how, Barry? Not in terms of reducing static, they're not.
