Guest mafted Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 this is a damn good question.. the most practical thing i've seen are those sturdy plastic, mesh like boxes like so , good for the flip through and keeping them upright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEK Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 this is a damn good question.. the most practical thing i've seen are those sturdy plastic, mesh like boxes like so , good for the flip through and keeping them upright. these things are like 8 dollars ( and kinda cheap) thats' why i went with cardboard boxes. it would be ideal to have milk crates but that involves stealing them from behind stores and that's a little sketchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might ask a carpenter mate of mine to knock something together for me, he's always busy though and it will take ages before they materialise.

Guest bigs Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 you'd be amazed by how easy it would be to fashion such a box by yourself. 30 minutes at home depot/lowes/whatever and you'd have everything you needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Milk crates (in the US at least) were purposely made to small to fit vinyl records years ago bc people were stealing them for vinyl. That's why the new plastic crates look the same but are actually wide enough, picked up 2 for $16 at The Container Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCONES TO DIE FOR Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Please folks, it's vinyl - no "s" on the end. Thanks for your cooperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 quick question: right now im low on funds, i have about 10 records in a vertical stack....is that ok? i mean, assuming i dont knock them over or something, that wont affect their play will it? im planning on getting a real nice bookcase for them once i have the proper funds.

markedone Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 don't stack records! don't stack them horizontally on top of one another, or at all? For clarification, can someone elaborate the best/safe way to store dem records? Also is there something like the Expedit for a smaller collection (about 2 of those cubes worth of records?)

SCONES TO DIE FOR Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 For a while I was getting some really nice soul/funk/jazz records at the local record store. The vinyl was always nice, but the covers were thrashed. The guy at the store told me that the guy who was bringing it in was storing all his records in his carport outside of his house. Every time it rains I think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this article on storing albums The accumulative weight of the vinyl causes the ones at the bottom of the stack to become crushed and damaged. Always store your vinyl in the vertical position and don't be tempted to squeeze too many records into too small a space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 fuck fuck fuck well, i have them horizontal against the wall now, FUCK i hope they arent ruined...theyve been sitting like that for a few weeks. moved them, it was only 5 records, with the heavy Oversteps LP on the bottom...i really hope nothing happened...ill have to test them this weekend.
