Stickman31 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Alright so I'm getting really paranoid about this: is it okay if my records lean a little bit? I try getting them straight but they always seem to lean to the left or the right a little. Is that okay, they won't get messed up/warped or anything right?

harryq Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I don't know if anything will happen to the records themselves, but I don't like it. I put empty mailers and those cardboard squares on my shelf to help keep everything upright. these also serve as placeholders of records I've got on pre-order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotfactory Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 People are going to tell you in matters. However, they "lean" for years in record stores and are typically just fine. Many people only fill their expedit holes partially and leave the records leaning on purpose. With that said, I don't let mine lean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Elbows up, side to side. This is what I came to post... I don't mind a little lean action, but I am also not nearly as anal as most people around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hipsterasfolk Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Best way to make sure they don't lean is stacking them on top one another. Brock N Roll, hudsoncomplex, YesPlease and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I have the ones that are in my listening rotation or haven't been organized yet lean, but I try to keep the rest of them as vertical as possible. I'm usually more concerned about having them packed too tightly on the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YesPlease Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I immediately frame all my records so I don't have thus conundrum. Framing really does help keep the records in M or NM condition for much much longer!! Rather than letting them possibly lean and be subject to forces of the outside world.
