In an effort to attract more buyers, labels have increasingly used novel packaging to catch your eye. There are also issues with new sealed vinyl, even if they no longer use the same packaging. If it doesn’t move with ease and offers some resistance, the shrink has likely shrunk and odds are you have a damaged record. If the plastic moves very freely and doesn’t feel too snug to the album, you’re probably ok. The best way to tell, though, is to rub the sealed album between your thumb and forefinger. You can tell because you will see the strain in the plastic as it’s trying to pull the cardboard along with it. I will also look for any portion of the plastic that is tugging at the sleeve. I run my hands over the sleeve to feel if there are any waves that would indicated it’s under pressure. When you feel the sleeve, if it’s anything but perfectly flat, you may have a problem. So, how do you know? Well, your fingers are the best judge. Depending on how old the disc is, the warp could make the album unplayable (though, you could used one of the flattening methods I discuss in an earlier post, but that will likely cause some minor damage in its own right). Secondly, the pressure from the shrinking plastic causes the vinyl inside to warp. First, the sleeve begins to change shape and develop “rolls.” When you rub your hand over it, it will feel like there are small waves (you can actually see one of the waves in the picture, below).

As it tightens around the record two things happen. You see, certain shrink wrap that was used to seal some albums actually shrunk over time. Instead, I realized I may have a problem when I got home. In my rush to pick, I neglected to perform one very basic test on it prior to purchase. This isn’t always the case.Ībove is a picture of a still sealed album I picked up at a recent record show. The basic concept is that a still sealed album must be in mint condition by virtue of it never having been opened. In fact, they often command a hefty premium over their opened brothers and sisters.
