BCW is located in my hometown of Middletown, Indiana. Bought some of their record dividers a few weeks ago. Great product 👌
I use Vinyl Storage Solutions. You can't beat the quality of their stuff. The dual pocket sealable outer sleeves are the way to go. 4 mil outers and 2 mil inners are the perfect match for me.
I really like BCW products , use all their record sleeves for my albums and 45's, also use there seal able cd sleeves.
Mike at Vinyl Storage Solutions is the master of sleeving
As a comic collector....I have comic boxes to keep my comics in. To see them for records is an excellent idea.
All the best Frank.
Thanks Frank. I used to use the BCW sleeves. The clarity of them is great. I found them to be way too easy to split the seams, especially when inserting a gatefold album. Vinyl Storage Solutions sleeves are the very best, in my experience. They’re Just as clear, fit the record sleeves better and are far more durable. They take awhile to ship orders but they’re worth the wait
I’ll stick to the vinyl storage solutions ones for both 4mil dual pocket outer sleeves and the 3mil inner sleeves! Thanks for information tho!
That’s all I use is bcw Record Sleeves - 4 MIL! I went through about 2300 records so far 🤘🏼
During the time of moving homes I bought 20 of those BCW boxes. They worked great!
The boxes seem pretty good.
I use 3 mil “classic”. I’m not a fan of the sleeves that reseal, it seems they are alway sticking to the wrong thing, but each their own. Thanks for sharing, I will take a look at BCW when I reorder.
Ever since I tried the VSS dual pocket sleeves, I can’t go back, they’re the best and I love using two for gatefolds to allow it to open. And I prefer Mofi inners, mainly because I can get them locally pretty easy.
My Canadian friend Mike at VSS has spoiled me rotten. I have been collecting vinyl for 5 decades. His products although pricer than others remain the best on the market. When you have a large collection that is going to be passed down. You can't cut corners when it comes to protecting your investment. Quality over quantity every time it's a no brainer when it comes to vinyl collecting and vinyl storage.
I don't like the resealable liners. But have been looking for dividers like that just ordered them. Great show keep on spinning 🤟😎
I have trouble with resealable inners... I tend to get the sticky part stuck on everything, lol... but I'm clumsy :)
It's a cosmic coincidence that I've been listening to that Bat Fangs record ALL DAY TODAY! I'm obsessed with them at the moment!
Such a great band!
I need some 7" sleeves. Inner and outer, so this is helpful
Great video Frank!!
I use the Vinyl Storage Solutions products. I'm very happy with their product and quality. I don't use them for all my records yet as that'd be very expensive. But maybe in time.
Keep on spinning Frank 😁👍
Thanks for the video Frank! I use BCW at the shop for records, comic books, sports cards and more. However, I use MOFI inner sleeves & Vinyl Storage Solutions Dual-Pocket outer sleeves for my personal collection. I also use E. Gerber acid-free boards & Mylar bags for my comic books! 🙏
Vinyl storage solutions all day.
Hi Frank. you look like you might be there a while trying all the different sizes, but nice of BCW reaching out to you to show case. I use the Vinyl storage solutions outer and innner sleeves from you friend Mike. They are fab !! Keep on spinning !!
BCW makes some solid products, but the Diskeeper Ultimate is by far my favorite inner sleeve.
I use "P.Y.P PROTECT YOU PLAY" anti static rice paper inner sleeves from amazon. they are cheap and they fit inside the paper inner sleeves that come with the album. love em
Thanks for the video,
Ill be a Vinyl Storage Solutions until he sells to mofi :P. I'm hooked on the dual pocket sealable and the 3 mill inners. I typically only read the inserts right after I clean the album and while I'm giving it a 1st listen, so having it sealed is great for me. I really love how the covers "POP" in his outers, looks great on my now playing perch.
Hey Frank, I have tons of the generic ones from my local record stores. I started ordering the Vinyl Storage Solutions ones after you showcased them in one of your videos. I find them to be awesome sleeves, and I have many variations of their line of products. I have some for 12, 10 and 7" vinyl, and I couldn't be happier with them. I also have a bunch of BCW 7" inners and outers as well, which are very good too. Have fun trying out all the new sleeves.
Cheers
I stocked up on some VSS stuff during Mike's Black Friday sale. Now have, like, 2 years supply, haha!
Here in the states, Bags Unlimited is the king for all types of collections protection. I’ve used them for 40+ years.
I have had their dividers for over a decade... solid stuff!
@@Channel33RPM it helped that they were located in the same city where I worked.
Thanks, Frank. As a vinyl collector, I really need to have both inner and outer sleeves to protect your records. Personally, I've been using ZOLEF brand sleeves, which I found on Amazon, and I think their inner sleeves are the best after several returns of other brands.
big fudge baby! they seem to fit almost every record.
I get the traditional outer sleeves from my local record store and for my inner sleeves i use mofi original sleeves like the anti static and the fact they are great for long term storage . i look forward to more of you like and dislike of the bcw product line as time goes on
In my early purchase of albums what I liked were the paper inner sleeves that came with prints of other album outer covers that were of records available by that label. May not be the best for vinyl but cool to look back on now at what was out there in the 60s & 70s. Motown and Atlantic were big on those inner sleeves.
Thank you for that subtle hint at Bat Fangs! Been listening to them pretty much non stop for last 3 days! Great band
I’ve been using GrooveVinyl the last few years. Great product and great prices. From Winnipeg I believe 🤔
That BatFangs album was awesome. Great band
Hey Frank been a subscriber for a couple of years. Went by your last recommendation for covers. And I love it here is what they are. 12.75" Dual Pocket Outer Sleeves w/ Sealable Flap (Tape on Flap) - 4mil (25 pack)
The dividers are pretty cool, but the prices on amazon for Canada is crazy expensive. I might have some shipped to the border from the US amazon site and just pick them up when I make a run.
Hey Frank. I ha very been using mobile inners for years, and 3mm generic outer sleeves. Not that I'm pretty much out of both so I am going to try VSS out next. Cheers
Vinyl Storage Solutions, though I still need to order / try the box set sleeves for the 1/2 dozen or so I have.
I’ve been getting vinyl storage solutions 4 mill 12 3/4 single pocket for awhile now. Last bunch I ordered seemed to be a little too small. Having trouble getting single records into them. Hoping that it is a fluke. Also use their 2 mill inner sleeve. Have used BCW in the past. No real complaints don’t remember why I quit using them.🎶🎸🤘🏻
I use 4mil MoFi Polypropylene for 12" and Big Fudge 3mil Polypropylene for 7". Just outer sleeves.
Vinyl Storage solutions all the way.
-The 12" resealable outer sleeves
-12" 3 mil inner sleeves
-7" outers ( resealable) and inners
- VSS white A-Z record dividers
-VSS genre record dividers
-VSS box set outer sleeves.
All created by Mike Salazar, who, in my humble opinion, has the very best customer service anywhere and the best products.
This is nothing at all against the BCW sleeves. They look very well made also. But I have a strong preference for Mike's sleeves & other products.
I use Mofi crystal clear sleeves for single LPs, Vinyl Storage Solution dual pocket 4 mil for gatefolds.
My outers are polypropylene and polyethylene, I buy them 10 at a time from a local record shop, not sure of the brand. My inner sleeves are Hudson Hifi anti-static with acid free rice paper inserts. Many reviewers compared them favourably to the Mofi sleeves, so I thought I would give them a try. They were $30 (CAD) tax in for 100 sleeves delivered. Great value for the money, and so far I like them.
While I'm no longer a regular comic book reader, BCW's plastic bins, both short and long, are a fantastic storage option. As you mentioned in an earlier video, they've been into such collectibles for years so it's good seeing them expand. That being said, they've a lot of catching up to do with vinyl record storage, although the more, high quality competition in the market for such, the better for us.
Thanks for turning me onto VSS sleeves earlier. I really like the recent single pocket sleeve that Mike made.
I do use the regular paper inner sleeves and polyethylene outer sleeves
Will try polypropylene ones
What a great review! Seeing different sized jackets being tried into certain sized sleeves makes a big difference in knowing what size to look for.
I got a deal on Hudson inner and outer sleeves, but I need to get some larger ones for my double LPs.
If you review more of what you got, please give us a better look at the box with records in it.
Thanks Frank!
I have never tried the Hudson Hi-Fi sleeves, but I do like their acrylic mats.
Aloha Frank,
I myself used BCW 4MIL Outta sleeves, I get mine through Amazon, I just ordered 3 packs a few weeks ago, but only received 1 pack of (100) 4 mil sleeves, 3 days later Amazon sends me a notice saying my package was undeliverable & they will send me a refund. The reason I ordered 3 package was because I got a great price on them. Now their back up to $ 33.00 U.S. from $22.49 .
I also buy Hudson hifi Inner sleeves ,I buy them in packs of 500 comes to about 16.00 for a pack of 100. Way cheaper than the mofi brand.
Great video Frank, maybe I'll check BCW online might be cheaper then Amazon.
Looking forward to watching your next video.
Mahalo Ed
So many options nowadays... great for us collectors.
Sleeve City. But Hudson Hi Fi had a crazy holiday sale and picked up 500 inner and outer sleeves for a little over $120. I have been gifting those friends who are new to vinyl and/or never considered 'protecting' their collection.
Thanks for the informative video! I put the 12 3/4 x 12 polypropylene outer sleeve in my Amazon cart to get when I’m running low. Personally, I’m not a fan of the resealable sleeves. It just takes too long to get everything out and put back in. I also don’t use a specific brand. Just what’s most affordable at the time. Great review!
Does anyone know a good outer sleeve that can fit big triple LP jackets? I got that Iron Maiden 3LP reissue of Number Of The Beast and I can't fit it into any of my sleeves
I get ones from vinyl styl off Amazon and they fit that specific release and aren't expensive
@@Drew_P_Nutsack are they just the standard ones or are they oversized?
@@zachary_attackery they are 12.75x12.75 and 3mil thick. They fit my copy of daft punk alive too and it's also 3lps, only like $15 for 50 sleeves
@@Drew_P_Nutsack thanks, I'm gonna get those
Thats quite the selection. Those 7" black ones look awesome as hell. I'm scared to look up the price of 1000. Which i know will replace all of mine and have plenty left for anything new i find. But, damn! Those look sweet looking. Divivders for them are cool. Speaking of storage. I got 2 banker boxes to put all my dvds in. But in just fooling around with what would fit. I just happened to come across the fact that 2 rows fit side by side, with enough room in the handles that wont be in the way when you move them around. Also happened to have a lot of extra cardboard around and cut my own dividers and finally after decades. I finally have an alphabetically sorted boxes. Cant believe A to C took up a box. Guessing you could probably get about 240-250 stuffed into it. Ended up getting 4 boxes. That way its easier to sort out with spacing to flip through them. I hate it when its packed. Unless its showing spine only sides.
I rarely see the crystal clear sleeves, so i use those kinda foggy looking ones. And paper poly sleeves. Usually taken from a Deutsche Grammophone alhum.
I use VSS, great products (not from China), good prices and Canadian eh!
I use Sleeve City inners and outers. I like their Diskeeper inners with the rounded bottoms. My 45s all reside in Diskeepers with the rounded bottoms, as well.
Those Diskeeper inners are great!
I use the “regular”/“basic” polyethylene outer sleeves and the anti-static inners. I get the ones that are styled like the mofi ones with the rice paper in one side. I’m not loyal to a particular brand-they’ve all worked well for me.
I don’t like the resealable outer sleeves or ones with a flap, the seal sticks to everything and the flap just impedes my ability to get to my record.
But these folks seem to have some other items I may be interested in. Thanks for the review!!
Holly! That’s a huge box! Congrats:)
It is always fun to check out new-to-me stuff.
I use the Polyethylene 12” 130 mg outer sleeves from Audio Anatomy. They’re really sturdy and not badly priced either !
I thought you were a vss guy? I love there products that’s all I use period.
Yes - I dig VSS. Just checking out what BCW sent.
Vinyl Storage solution dual pocket. Crystal clear, durable, dual pocket. I am surprised you did not mention VSS, as you introduced their (Canadian) products on your channel. I would wish for a bit more comparative and critical reviews, rather than an infomercial.
I buy both inner and outer sleeves from The In Groove Records. I think they have them custom manufactured as the packaging doesn't have any branding. I like their inner sleeves a lot because they're semi-clear and you can see the information on the back of the record sleeve when you have the record out.
I was using Mofi inner sleeves, but I swapped them all out.
That's pretty cool they have their own sleeves.
I think Big Fudge inners and outers are my go-to for now. BCW reminds me of my dark comic book past
I hear a lot about Big Fudge, but have never tried them (yet).
Those look great🔥 I've noticed your videos have kick ass sound quality Frank👍
Thanks -- I've been trying a lapel mic for the bar vids, but this time the lighting got messed up.
I don't care for resealable sleeves unless you were going to sell the record and wanted a newer look. I need it to be easy to get the album out so I can listen to it. not sure what brand of sleeve I use... can't remember at the moment. they do work for gatefolds and that's all i really care about . I only have a couple of trifold albums and they get no cover.
Talk about album jackets not being of the same size... David Bowie fans can tell you that some of his albums (four that I know of) come in tri fold jackets that are too wide to put the sleeves on so that they open from the top. You have to put them on horizontally which brings up the old problem of sleeves coming off when you slide them into your storage shelves.
I purchase all of my inner and outer sleeves from sleeve city USA. They have nice clear thick mylar outers and some nice inners that have the paper inside the plastic to give the sleeve some rigidness .
I have tried the Sleeve City stuff before... I dug it. Their shipping to Canada is pretty expensive though.
@@Channel33RPM shipping here in the states is pretty cheap. Around ,$5 for Media mail.
I’m a great fan of VSS …I can’t see myself returning to any other supplier….though their prices are also creeping up….sadly…
Interesting. Informative. Thanks nice to know what out there. I just bought some goods from Vinyl Solutions in Winnipeg!! A brush and the humidors for LP!! ✌️
interesting but no thanks! vinyl storage solution is the only way to go for both outer and inner sleeves!!
I think I have about 2 years' supply of VSS (stocked up during the Black Friday sale, haha). That said, it's always fun checking out other stuff. And it's nice to see BCW ramping up their game.
I got the 123/4 x 13" for my gate fold double albums, but they didn't all fit. The seam rips if you try to force the larger gate fold double albums in. I was very disappointed. The opening is 12 3/4", the same size as the other bags, while the 13" is the depth which makes no sense. The opening is what needs to be larger
Yeah, you can't force 180 gram double LPs into polypropylene sleeves or they will split. It is about the process and material. I suggest the 3 mil polyethylene sleeves instead. These are made with a different process and have more stretch to them. Also, keep in mind, everyone sleeves their records differently. Some people use it with the top open, others want the opening on the side.
@@jeremybonfiglio3914 thanks 👍
I order 3 mil on my first order and 2 mil on the second order 3 mil outta sleeves is the best
It would be nice to have sleeves for box sets, like the Mo-Fi one step pressings and UHQR records. Also the CD long box sets...
We are actually working on some prototypes. Stay tuned.
hey frank thanks for reviewing! i see they have gatefold sleeves for sale as well. did they send you any to try out? curious on your thoughts?
No, I have not tried out there gatefold sleeves, so I have no comment there.
my Metallica s&m 2 does not fit in any of my sleeves do you recomend a bigger size as there are 4 records and a book
Hello My Great Friend Frank Landry I Hope You Have A Great Wonderful Wednesday Afternoon And Evening Blessed With Beautiful Accomplishments And Achievements Great Success Total Happiness Sunshine And Smiles That Will Allow To Enjoy Your Life As A Happy And Successful Person In The World May God Always Bless Your Life With Love Joy And Happiness.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Unfortunately, BCW Doesn't Make "Snug Fit" Outtersleeves. 😔
Price that stuff Out !!

Haha!
Hey, I think I’m gonna start a channel on my love Porsche i’m thinking of calling it 910 & 2/3 what do you think?
I've used a lot of their products for comic books for years, but they need to make 3 mil sleeves for records, the 2 mil sleeves split on the seems to easily.
Our polyethylene are 3 Mil and don't split because it is a different manufacturing process. We do offer 4 Mil of the polypropylene but splitting does occur with too much pressure on the seams. We are looking on how to improve these so stay tuned.
@Jeremy Bonfiglio never have a problem with 3 mil sleeves, only 2 mil split easily.
Hey Frank, how do you get rid/sell your records? Do you use Discogs, Ebay, or some other means?
Facebook Marketplace.
mofi inners outters I'm not as picky
