You have just spent good money on a record. A little care keeps it sounding the way it should, and keeps the sleeve worth putting on a shelf. Everything below comes from Legend Vinyl, the same kit we reach for behind the counter, priced at RRP with nothing added on top.
If you want the full method rather than the kit, our vinyl care guide walks through it step by step. This is the shortlist of what we stock, and when to reach for each piece.
Clean it
Dust and static are what you actually hear as surface noise. A quick clean before every spin does most of the work.
- Cleaning Solution and Microfibre Cloth, £14.99. The everyday clean. A few sprays, a light wipe with the lint-free cloth, and you have lifted the grease and dust before the needle finds it.
- Complete Care Cleaning Kit, £34.99. Solution, brush and cloth in one box for a proper deep clean. Worth it when you are bringing a second-hand haul back to life.
Sleeve it
Sleeves are the cheapest insurance a collection has. Outers stop ring wear and shelf scuffs. Anti-static inners stop the crackle and keep the disc off bare paper.
- Holographic Outer Sleeves, 25-pack, £16.99. Crystal outers that shrug off scuffs and throw a shimmer across the artwork.
- Anti-Static Inner Sleeves, 25-pack, £19.99. Kraft inners that kill the static, so the disc slides in and out clean. Black or white.
- Outer Sleeves, 100-pack, £21.99. The sensible buy when the crate is growing faster than the budget.
Store it and show it
How records sit matters as much as how they are cleaned. Upright, supported, and out of direct sun.
- Now-Playing Display Stand, £19.99. Stand the sleeve up while it spins. The record on the deck becomes the thing on show.
- Shelf Stand with Acrylic Ends, £26.99. Upright storage with clear acrylic ends that keeps the run flat, filed, and easy to flick through.
The shortlist
Clean it, sleeve it, stand it up, and play it. Browse the full range on our record-care page. Care items ship separately from your vinyl, and record orders over £75 include free care shipping.
