    These sleeves can't be beaten. Really deserves more recognition for the quality and competitive prices. Especially for people who live in Canada, absolutely no competition.

      Absolutely. They're incredible. And now he's making gatefold sleeves and has reintroduced his brilliant crystal clear inners! Mike is posessed by genius, without a doubt.
      AND HE HAS UK AND US DISTRIBUTORS NOW!
      Started using them around the time this video came out. Never went back.

    I love these sleeves so much. Nothing else will do now. I love the 2 mil for gatefolds and 4 ml for everything else. I have been saving my money to place a big order. You guys are great and I loved seeing all the different choices of sleeves. Great video!

    Watched this video when it was first posted. Have been ordering outer and inner sleeves from Mike since as I need them. Great product and Mike's a super guy when I called him. I agree with the comments that the artwork and the recording go together and I want to protect both. Mike has the solution. Frank, thanks for having him over.

    These outer sleeves are the absolute best on the market! Stumbled across Vinyl Storage Solutions online and decided to try our the 4 mil single pocket 12' with tuckable flap and I can attest first hand how truly beautiful they are! These crystal clear sleeves actually enhance the presentation of the record jacket artwork adding a visual dimension that was otherwise completely distorted with the old regular 'cloudy' sleeves I had been using. Great prices, made locally from a proud member of our VC, what more can you ask for?! Higly recommended!!!

    For years I have Produced Electronic music. I took a break from shows for about 10 years.
    Now that I have got back into turning my attention to more music other than my own. Iv turned to Vinyl collecting.
    I was looking at these Incredible Quality Vinyl covers. For you to have him go into detail and the background towards his process into making them.
    It makes me even more thankful to know I'm supporting his work for providing protection on vinyl.

    I love Mike's sleeves personally. I bought a few packs of the 4 mil but the 2 mil I actually like a little better because the flap is more forgiving. I'm hoping he brings out a dedicated dual pocket gate fold someday.

    As a subscriber of this channel, I have learnt about Vinyl Storage Solutions from watching your earlier videos. I have just received my third order since the last few months. What I can say is I love Mike's product, not so much on the shipping at first because the orders took forever to get to me in Houston, Texas. I have to say that the shipping for my last order came in much faster than before, please keep that up!

    Great video Frank and Mike. I don't currently use outer sleeves because I don't care for how they look (too big, don't slide in/out of shelving as well, crinkle up, etc). Mike's sleeves make me want to actually consider using them again. I may have to pick up a pack of dual pockets at some point in the near future, and I will have to try the inner sleeves for sure. Thanks again for the interview.

    Excellent video Frank and Mike! After watching Mike explain the difference between cast and pressed polypropylene, I placed an order for the 4 mil resealable outer sleeve. It looked like the perfect application for gatefold albums and I was right! The sleeves fit perfectly and the Mofi inner sleeves slip in and out very easily. Thank you Mike for such an innovative and quality product.

    Frank - love you shows - entertaining and informational. From the perspective that people watch RUclips becausse, they are visual learners vs traditional reading learners, I am 7 minutes in and I would have appreciated name brand competitive examples of plastic sleeve descriptions. I think I know what he is talking about but I'm 100% sure I know what he is talking about. You may eventually show competitive sleeves in the vid but I needed to express the point in time where I got lost.

  • @bobby666666
    @bobby666666 5 лет назад

    Interesting video. One thing that was not mentioned was that if the sleeves fit snug, does it make more room for storage. I myself have a small number of outer sleeves, but have not conscientiously purchased them as I just store without with the original inner sleeve always placed back with the open end upwards in the record jacket. Sure the jackets get some wear on the bottom, but I originally purchased records from the late 70s up to early 90s to play and not to just collect. I have about only 1/2 doz reissues from within the last two years still stored in the record store carrier bags though. Interesting about recycling as in the late 70s/early 80s a lot of vinyl was made from recycled vinyl and therefore the quality was poor. One other thing was that US and Canadian issues such as Kiss, Thin Lizzy, Judas priest vinyl were thinner than the UK equivalents (ie wobble boards). A topic for future discussion maybe.

    Just a tip 4u & anyone who doesn't know, If u put them in side to side u won't have the seam on the spine it'll b on the top/bottom which looks alot better & the vinyl comes out the side instead of the top. I love these sleeves SO SO much but I'd LOVE 4 him 2 start ordering more @ a time so I don't have 2 pre order them months in advance... I live check 2 check & I knew I was running low so I had 2 buy more but I came across a $150 vinyl I had 2 buy cuz I NEVER see it 4 sale & spent $180 on Record Store Day (which now r sleeveless) so I couldn't buy sleeves 4a month which is when I ran out & now resealable 4 mil duals r still available but the tuckable r backordered 2 months..& I kinda need those 4 the gatefolds that have 1 disc cuz there r no 4 mil multi purpose so I use 1 dual 4 mil w/tape & 1 tuckable 4 mil 2 make a gatefold & store my inserts... I kno it's my fault but it'd b amazing if it was easier & quicker 2 buy em like other sleeves like order em get em 2 weeks later....even a month later... My cat likes 2 scratch my vinyls when she wants attention & no sleeves stresses me out...
    BTW the 4 mil sleeves are so nice my cats claws slide off when she attempts to scratch em...the 2 mil I'm not a fan..u can't open em again cuz they rip u just have to cut em off. & They slide nicely when putting em away unlike cheap 1s that stick to eachother & push others back, etc. JUST MAKE SURE U ORDER EM 3 MONTHS PRIOR 2 NEEDING EM. absurd but hoping someday it won't be that way...when u buy singles he also sends me a few free 1s everytime BTW & always answers my emails.

    I am so far behind in my inners and outers... With the limited budget that Value Vinyl has ($20 every 2 weeks and $2 max per record)... I am easily falling behind.
    If I had the budget... and choice... Vinyl Storage Solutions is the best choice... bar none... I have seen so many videos from different members of the VC that I have no doubt they are the cream of the crop.
