Needles & Grooves

My dealer at the TSC has some on order and once he has them in hands he will notify me. They've been on backorder for some time apparently...

I gotta get on that too. I’ve been playing the “ok you’re more valuable so you get to take this one’s sleeve” shell game entirely too long (despite my insistence that I’m done buying 7”).

Damn, yet another thing I need to do. I have me 7" in outers for the most part but should switch over to non-paper inners (though I guess most of the damage has been done over the last 30yrs)

Sleeve City has inners for 7" and I think 10" as well as outers. They are on backorder right now through their site but not sure the price to ship to CA.

Vinyl Storage Solutions out of Winnipeg has them. But they're back ordered right now. I order all my sleeves from them (they have clear acrylic outers I like). They started making their own MOFI style inners last year and they're pretty good.

EDIT: Actually, I take it back. It's all in stock again. Time to make a order for myself.

Sleeve City. There doesn't seem to be many places that make sleeves for 7" and 10" and if they do, they are usually not that great quality.

My Vinyl Storage Solutions quick sleeve review:
Outers: I've tried all the sizes 13", 12", 10" and 7". I use the 4 mil single pocket. The outer is crystal clear which I love. The 12" can be a little tight for larger double LPs (like some MOFIs), so maybe source another brand for those if it's an issue. The 13" are a little large to me for double LP's but YMMV. They work well for thinner boxes and really thick sets.

Inners: The rice paper gauge is a little thicker than the MOFI and I feel the paper is sturdier. This is actually really good because it's easier to slip the record into the sleeve. They have 12", 10" and 7". I only bought 12" but I got their other two as samples. Nothing wrong with them.

I've compared the Vinyl Storage Solutions acrylic sleeves to several other chinese brands I tried on Amazon. They are thicker and sturdier. I have not compared to Sleeve City (because they cost a lot to ship here), but I get the feeling the Sleeve City are probably even stronger.

@Turbo that's awesome thank you, I put an order in. Hadn't heard of these guys.

They're good for the price. I've ripped a few outers, but it's rare. Nowhere near as often as with the Chinese brands from Amazon. The plastic feels different too - a little more malleable. The Chinese ones feel brittle like gift basket outer plastic. I noticed the 12" MOFI style inners are still on pre-order only, so I'll wait a bit before ordering again. I still have a good 50 12" outers left right now.

I use Groove Vinyl outers right now, but really only because they were the only Canadian outfit I could find. They're fine but not amazing.

I think the Groove Vinyl sleeves are a little bigger so they'd be better for your doubles, especially the tip-on doubles.
