Static from LP's

[Grumpy]

It's had me a little baffled that I get rather loud static from some LP's when i finish playing one side and flip them over for the next side. Why some and not others?
Well I have noticed that the ones that cause this the most with the loudest static are the LP's than live in paper sleeves and not the thin plastic sleeves . I would have thought the plastic ones would be the culprits, not the paper ones.
WHY is it so?

Grumpy, I hear where you're coming from and know what you mean.

And I really hope a knowledgeable vinyl veteran will explain the ins and outs of static on vinyl - In General

I frequently pull LPs from "anti-static" plastic sleeves, clean them with an "anti-static" carbon fibre brush, and still have them crackle on side flip - with dust being sucked toward the vinyl (visibly in a strong light)

Not sure about your "worse in a paper sleeve" experiences though...

Nagaoka No 102 Anti Static sleeves ? Tried them. Mostly successful BUT label colour & glue leeched onto some sleeves. And static is NOT eliminated by these - just minimised as a problem.

Question: Should playing the side of an LP record, on a properly grounded TT be expected to produce static electricity or not ?

Thanks Grumpy. I was starting to think it had something to do with the way made modern pressings because it seems to affect my newer LPs more than my older ones. Since most of LPs you buy new these days are in paper covers, then your observation would also makes sense but like you I would have expected the exact opposite to be true.
