The Goldring Exstatic Record Sleeve is an anti-static inner sleeve designed to protect 12-inch vinyl records from dust, static build-up, and surface contamination. Goldring is one of the longest-established names in analogue audio, with a heritage in cartridge and record care manufacturing stretching back to 1906. The Exstatic sleeve sits within Goldring's dedicated record care range alongside their cleaning products and replacement styli.
Anti-Static Protection
Vinyl records are naturally prone to accumulating positive static charge, which attracts airborne dust and grime into the disc groove. This contamination produces audible clicks, crackle, and unwanted surface noise during playback, and accelerates stylus wear over time. The Exstatic sleeve is engineered to neutralise this static charge, releasing trapped dust and reducing the conditions that cause it to settle in the first place.
Construction
Each sleeve is manufactured from high-quality polyethene — a smooth, non-abrasive material that allows records to slide in and out without scuffing or scratching the playing surface. The polyethene construction is durable and resistant to wear, maintaining its protective properties over extended use. The sleeves are sized for standard 12-inch LP records and fit neatly inside most outer record sleeves.
Practical Benefits
Replacing worn or paper inner sleeves with Exstatic sleeves offers an immediate improvement in record care. Paper sleeves shed fibres and generate static through friction; the Exstatic's polyethene construction eliminates both issues. By reducing static charge and dust attraction, the sleeves help preserve sound quality and extend the working life of both the record and the playback stylus.
