I do like framing album cover sleeves though, and I have tried the ones from Ikea -- which are too small for a gatefold sleeve and slightly oversized for a standard sleeve. Go figure.
Off to the side of this topic: in one place which I moved into back in the day, I decided to cover the whole of one wall of my room with LP sleeves - and it was a big wall! Just bluetacked those bad boys up there, spent a really enjoyable couple of days selecting/positioning them and tacking them up- it looked pretty friggin' bad ass when I'd finished. Felt like a
champ.
Felt more like a
chump, however, when it came to moving out of that place - and the blue tack tore most of the rear sleeves a new one!! (Of course, this was back in my easy going, habitual 'smoking' days when nothing really seemed to phase me much....those days are LONG GONE friends.)
