PLEASE NOTE: WE WILL NO LONGER REPLACE ANY JACKET WITH SEAM SPLITS OR WE WILL NOT REFUND YOU UNLESS THIS OPTION IS ADDED TO YOUR ORDER WHAT IS A SEAM SPLIT? A seam split is unfortunately a common issue when shipping records through the postal system. It occurs when the record is jostled around in the packaging, causing the vinyl to move and actually cuts through the seams of the jacket on the top, bottom, or side and it is sadly an inherent risk with mail order records. WHAT WILL WE DO TO YOUR RECORDS / JACKETS IF YOU PURCHASE THIS? (1) We will slice open the end of the cellophane, take the record out, and put it between the cellophane and the jacket. (2) We will remove the cellophane and put everything into a normal plastic record sleeve. WHY ARE WE OFFERING THIS SERVICE? We usually do not have extra jackets for most of our releases, so this is the only real way to protect your jacket from this pesky occurrence.
