^replacing the paper sleeves is a no-brainer of course.
some are worse than others, almost abrasive & scratching hairlines on the vinyl.
i can understand if some mid nineties detroit techno release had them.
however a company putting vinyl-damaging cheap-ass sleeves into premium-priced jazz releases which entitle themselves "audiophile" is nothing less than a massive spit into paying collectors' faces.
yes, Verve / Third Man Records, i'm talking about you.
