yes it keeps them protected for cheap while they're moving through the factory. it prevents scratches which are almost ever-present in modern pressings no matter where they're pressed.
@@ianswift3521 I swear I was so annoyed to find my new record scratched whereas the old ones are like brand new! To think of the money I paid for the new one!
You’d think that the technology has advanced enough by now that they could put the paper sheets on the inside and split a crystal-clear PVC puck on the outside, and then press the vinyl outsides on the stamper, instead of fusing a pre-stamped equivalent of a flexi-disc over the paper while black PVC is between the paper sheets! Peace.
If they seem to be checking theses vinyl pressing so well why are so many re issues today so bloody warped and scratched it's become a huge problem As every record I now purchase I worry is this one stuffed and most time I'm right Back it goes
Oh, no. You need better handling on the paper sheets, the worker's are folding them leaving bending marks on them. That's depreciating the record's value and it always seems like an used record. Pay attention to the QC!!!
@@AugustineChannel really? after buying thousands of records over the past 15 years it's no surprise to me. so many new copies of albums I've bought have had totally creased up lyric inserts that made it look like a used 20-time-played copy. I don't even care anymore, I just encourage labels to use thicker inserts that don't crease as easily. No point in curating to the obsessive compulsives.
