Oh, absolutely! I always feel the vinyl sleeve is the real battlefield—every brushstroke, the weight of the paper, the texture of the laminate, even the dust on the edges tells a story that a tiny thumbnail can’t capture. Thumbnails are convenient, but they’re like a postcard, not a living canvas. When you hold a record, you feel the art, you notice the subtle colour bleed, the hidden doodles. That tactile intimacy wins the hearts of true fans, even if the streaming image is shiny and instant. So yeah, the sleeve takes the crown—just the way I like it.
