Accessory Storage

Dust, dirt and dings are a trio of doom for the record collector. That is why so many vinyl lovers take care to look after their precious discs, both for aesthetic reasons and to protect the investment.

For the contents of the LP cover there are inner sleeves of varying kinds. Generally, you get a higher quality the more you pay (like most things in life) but even basic inner sleeves will protect the playing surface from scuffs.

A huge part of the allure of LPs is the album cover. Putting an outer sleeve on your records both protects the cardboard jacket and adds another layer of dust protection for the vinyl inside. Discrepancy has outer sleeves to fit most sizes of albums from single 12" discs to boxed sets.

Somewhere to store records is of course important. We recommend not having vinyl at floor level if you can avoid it; it’s often dusty down there! But if that is the best option for your home, try to vacuum regularly. And if you are taking your albums on an outing, check out the cool carry cases. They provide easy of transport and excellent protection.

As our skin has natural oils and sheds cells constantly, vinyl lovers seek to avoid touching the playing surface of a record. Yet sometimes dirt or grime to happen. Some record cleaning equipment is vital to maintain the condition of this magical but fragile medium and our range has something for every pocket. There are other accessories too. Feel free to consult our staff regarding your needs.

Finally, a piece of data that may sound mean, but is a vinyl truth. Cheap turntables do no favours at all to either your records or your ears. Discrepancy Records stock quality turntables too, so when you are ready to upgrade, speak to us about your needs.
