    Or however it best seems to slide in.

    I have a friend who insists that it is best to keep the record in the inner sleeve but in behind the jacket with an outer sleeve over the whole thing.  I'm for LP in the inner sleeve with slit upward and inside the jacket, then a quality polyethylene jacket over both, jacket slit upward.

    I used to do the outer sleeve with the opening matching the opening of the record, so I wouldn't have to take it off. But they kept sliding when Put the record back on the shelf. So, now I put the outer sleeve opening facing up. Sometimes, it is more of a pain having to take the record all the way out and put it back in the outer sleeve (I am looking at you, Gigaton) - but generally it only take a few seconds more.

    That what my friend claims also, but I have records that I've stored the way I described for a many years and they show no ring wear (or added ring wear if it was present when purchased).  But I also part the records that go before and after so there is no rubbing.  I also think using Sleeve City 5 mil Ultimate Outer give them a lot of extra added protection.  They are more costly but the protection they provide really pays off!

    Yeah, I agree, the extra time keeps them nice. 
    I'm also pretty much into the whole "listening to records as ritual" and as a very intentional and focused activity.  The only casual listening I do is with CDs in the car.  At home, I'm 100% with the music and the "process" (sheesh, that sounds rather stodgy, lol) of playing LPs.
