[78-L] saving an album

[David Lennick]

Albums can be your friends. They can also be a pain in the patootie when the 
binding breaks down and when the discs want to slide out the bottom or the side 
but hey, I was raised in an era when you stored your best records in albums, so 
I'm used to the things.

And using the thinnest paper sleeves from Bags Unlimited can also help solve 
the problems I mentioned above (use 'em inside the original album pockets, 
especially after cleaning the discs, and they'll be even better protected from 
dust and tragedies).
