    Insane ball knowledge. I checked with the rest of my family and no one helped her with this one. She walked into the record store with the band name and whoever was working did me an insane solid

    Tip: don’t keep it in that PVC sleeve. It’ll ruin it.

    TLDR: pvc outgasses and causes degradation to the vinyl itself

    That's so sweet and how lucky you are to have a grandmother that knows the things you love 💕 Reminds me of the time my grandmother went into the record store and asked if they had anything by "The Beatie Boys" for me for Xmas

    Just as a warning I would be weary about keeping those stored in those kinds of sleeves. It may not be the kind of material I’m thinking but often times these picture disc records are put in a different kind of sleeve that over time leaves some sort of residue on the record and will never sound the same.

    I think I’m going to be framing it so it won’t live in the sleeve for very long. Thanks for the heads up!

    If my grandma bought me that, I'd be so impressed.
