IS MUSIC FACTORY OR BEAT STREET..............

This shyt right here hurt my heart because it reminded me of what I only found out like 2 months ago - THEY CLOSED BEAT STREET!!!

I don't get back home that much because of my schedule, but I was on some old devastated shyt!

And they were selling vinyl 75% off before they closed! How sick is that?!?!!!

That shyt will be missed for real.

Also, if you keep your vinyl somewhere where there is a lot of moisture, like a basement, especially in the summer time when its warmer, a de-humidifier is a MUST! You'd be amazed at how much water is in the air. I have a 40-pint joint and during the summer I have to dump the water almost daily! I'm gonna hook it up with a hose though so I don't have to constantly dump it.

And don't just assume that because it doesn't feel humid to YOU, that there isn't a lot of humidity in the air. Your vinyl is an investment, and it deserves better. Speaking of investment, don't front on insurance either, even if you only rent your spot. Its bad enough if something happens to your spot, without the financial loss of your vinyl and equipment.

"ALSO IF U Didn't Catch this THE AIR CANS Are Often Demagnitizers Meanin' they're GREAT At REMOVIN' Electro Static (NON-Dust Static)

That IS "VERY" TRUE................


Cause those SLEEVES COULD GET NASTY.....................

MY ADVICE IS Always CHECK UR VINYL AT LEAST Once EVERY 1 1/2 Month

FOR MOISTURE AND GRAB LIKE "10" OR SO FROM DIFFERENT SPOTS!!!!!!!!!

And REMOVE THE VINYL FROM THE OUTER n THE INNER SLEEVEZ...........


TRUST THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got mold, should I just throw the vinyl away?

worst thing to find in a record: THE WRONG RECORD *and its WACK!!!
did this early on

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



TRY TO SALVAGE THE VINYL INSIDE AND THEN BUY NEW CARDBOARDS

AND INNER SLEEVES.................


Cause You Never Know You May Find Another Copy LATER And Be Able to Store Your DOUBLES IN ONE CARDBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

If not Just Use A Sharpie And LABEL The Blank Cardboard Sleeve.......

is it good to buy outer lp plastic sleeves if your records dont have any? does it help?
