DJ Quik Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Local record store owner said he will build me an actual record store style shelf with exact dimensions he uses, should fit about 400 LPs he said. I'm beyond stoked right now, can't wait to stop using expedit and not look at only the damn binds littlebistro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make flipping through so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBarry Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I wanted to hate, but that looks like quite a BR collection, so I will not. Yeah I have a rather decent Blu Ray collection for sure! I don't hate the Crosley but I DO hate the Notre Dame stuff. Go Blue! Boo! Ha hate that next year is the "last" meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passionbrand Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Im not so much a collector. I used to be a touring merch guy. Ended up with a lot of vinyl because of it. I still travel a lot and pick up records where ever I can. I havent stood still long enough to purchase a proper shelving unit for my collection or even a decent record player yet. Ive got my eyes on a pro-ject debut carbon turn table once I move into a house that doesnt share a wall with my neighbors. I must say that most of the pictures posted here are awesome. Some of you really put in some time, effort, and cash into your set ups and man caves and hang out spots. Im very impressed and I strive to turn this into a killer set up. Sorry for the crap photography xoxo bathroommonkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Quik Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I've considered making something like this for a long time. It does make flipping through so much easier. Significantly easier, but also it always others who go through my collection without feeling it's way too much of a chore, I'd feel that also looking at hundreds of binds pressed together instead of just easily flipping through large artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathroommonkey Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 timbhr, it still blows my mind that an EB guy is here and a Broadways fan. in all of my EB time, i would have never guessed that anyone over there would care about the Broadways.

timbrh2001 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 timbhr, it still blows my mind that an EB guy is here and a Broadways fan. in all of my EB time, i would have never guessed that anyone over there would care about the Broadways.Slapstick/Broadways filled my high school years. Broken Star was basically the anthem of my senior year back in 1999. Saw Slapstick's "final" 2 shows and saw the Broadways a number of times during the couple years they were around. A Knights of Columbus and horse barn were 2 of the memorable ones. When Mike Park did an eBay charity auction for a number of Asian Man test presses a number of years back, I knew I needed to do whatever it took to snag that Broken Star TP. Saw them at Riot Fest a few weeks ago and while sloppy, it brought back a ton of old memories. Saw Slapstick at Riot Fest last year as well. Don't talk too much about music over on EB so I really haven't a clue as to what everyone's tastes are over there. Hell, I don't particularly care for much of what's popular over here on VC either, haha. bathroommonkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivannaJunction Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Halloween set-up/Balzac shrine: What is the backsplash behind the turntable and the bookcases? What is it made of? Is it an accent wall/piece? I was thinking about getting a wooden accent wall behind my bed but the wife kiboshed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonbeams Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Perma is right. I got this at Michael's It's all taped together with black strips running down the back of the borders so the wall doesn't show through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 The gold version of the Janetegrity print is on the other side of the window. Just got the shelving for the records up last night.

iron666monkey Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Finally getting settled into the townhouse my lady and I bought a few weeks ago. This is my new set up. Sorry for the crappy I-phone picture. On the other side of the room there is 1 more full 2 X 8 full Expedit. I'll post better pictures once I get some more light down in the room. gabpower, ruckis and passionbrand 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Nice! Don't see too many people on here with that AM! promo insert. Good eye haha. Yeah, that insert is pretty cool. Though I am selling off most of my AM variants now, that one is definitely staying in the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
