Re: [ARSCLIST] Glass Records

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And I was raised with those albums and have never had a problem with them, 
outside of paper deterioration and having to watch for the glue disintegrating 
and creating the potential for edge breakage. Albums provide support and 
protection, and thin inner sleeves can be used INSIDE the pockets to keep the 
records from slipping and sliding. Three glass discs spread among a few regular 
shellac (or laminated) discs of the same size will provide excellent protection.

My two Canadian cents worth (soon to be worth more than the US penny again, 
from what I hear).
