Being one of those who always remove them myself. Unless they are obviously part of the cover design (like Prince's symbol album, for instance)

price stickers go, stickers on the shrinkwrap stay.

I keep all the catalog stickers on my CDs and DVDs. I have a wide collection stuck to the side of my bookcase. There are even stickers for titles I no longer own.

i have a real fetish for carefully removing them from the record sleeve - love listening to a pile of records and slowly deflowering them of glue, paper, print ... and I HATE overzealous charity shop super glue stickers gunmming up a good find

I'm with ian on this one but I don't see it as an option above.

My favorite sticker is "20 Hits! 20!"

where's the option for "eat them"?

ha ha, I thought I was the only one who ate them! I am a disgusting savage tho.

My favourite sticker is "Right Price!"

― Yossarian's sense of humour (NotEnough), Sunday, 1 May 2011 20:42 (fourteen years ago)

nah i don't eat them, there was a thread a while back about disgusting savages eating the stickers on apples

I don't buy physical music anymore, but when I did I'd remove price sitckers etc.

However, there is something to be said for price stickers in a retrospective kinda way. All my inherited vinyl from the past 50 years has various stickers from our prices/virgins/indys/etc. It's nice to look at - you can tell where it came from, (the 'our price' stickers used to have location of store on them') and the price. Tells you that little more about where the record came from I guess.

That said, I always removed them myself.

I eat the "stickers" on United Bakeries breads. Does that count?

Flour, I believe. :)

nah there's no shame in edible stickers

As for classic stickers, there was the one on "Use Your Illusion" which was actually banned in spite of presenting itself as a warning sticker of sorts.

― Hongroe (Geir Hongro), Sunday, 1 May 2011 21:55 (fourteen years ago)

When the parental advisory stickers first showed up I peeled them off and stuck them all to an old desklamp.

I remove all stickers unless they a) dont come off or b) are part of the design

― VegemiteGrrl, Sunday, 1 May 2011 22:46 (fourteen years ago)

ticked "keep 'em" but I don't mean price stickers, just ones with logos or titles or whatever
