Novice question: I ordered a new record. It arrived already opened, in a plastic slip case, and both records were removed from the case and tucked in the plastic slip case. I heard of shipping records like this before, but why?

1) protects the sleeve from ringwearOriginally Posted by OSPF
2) protects the sleeve from damage caused by the records shifting during shipping
3) protects the records from the same above reason (the fibers from the sleeve can get embedded into the grooves)
4) shrink wrap is evil and should never EVER be put on records, be glad they shipped it this way

Is right. I never understand why people think it's somehow noteworthy to keep records in shrinkwrap. Take it off, every time.

Another novice question: Should I be removing the wrap from all of my records?
I don't have a record player yet. But I'm buying records so I have them ready for when I finally buy a player. Currently all of my records are wrapped, with the exception of the one I mentioned in my previous post. (BTW, that record is Perturbator's Uncanny Valley.)

I’d say so yes. It’s worth getting a pile of the thick plastic outer sleeves and using those.
