I know acid-free is wonderful, but I have a few thousand transcriptions of the vinyl variety which just need covering. I bet if a company offered to produce 25-cent sleeves for a minimum order of ten thousand, we could cover that order in two minutes. I'd take two thousand tomorrow. And Bags Unlimited won't

As I say, I'd be in the market for just plain paper sleeves, for the simple reason that GOOD sleeves, bless 'em, require you to clean the disc before inserting it..otherwise you're just preserving grunge, grime and grease and throwing away the effectiveness of a good sleeve. And I'm not about to spend a year cleaning music library transcriptions, of which I have a few thousand I want to
store but not clean until I actually need to play them. Lacquers are another story, of course.
