I had the same problem with my copies, and was worried the pressing was bad because I had already cleaned the records with my felt cleaner. After hearing from other list members, I tried cleaning again with a soft damp cloth + a can of compressed air + new paper sleeves, and the records were just fine. They really ought to provide sleeves though anyway like you said - the closing tab on the cardboard outers can leave marks on the vinyl surface (at least they did on mine). GD
