Yup... Are you still using the cheap and nasty paper sleeves, which automatically come with most new records? If so that's your problem. They're a pure bugger for causing static, and also scratch your records every time you pull them in and out...!

There are two solutions:

1) Buy some quality anti-static record sleeves from Mr Brooks, and replace all cheap and nasty sleeves with those. Invest in a Milty anti-static gun and use it along with the former.

2) [Even more effective] Buy a professional record cleaner, which not only thoroughly cleans all of your records (yes, even new ones need cleaning) but also removes all static from new records, during the cleaning process. Then pop all cleaned records into a nice fresh anti-static record bag, and worry not again about static.

Job done
