Post Your Record Storage Area


Recommended Posts

I see some of Jesse Michaels art work.

Indeed. I bought his first two prints. They are numbered 3 and 6 /100 I think.

I used to hang the second one where there is a little silver disc but since I got my speakers it was a bit hidden behind and it wasn't "feng shui" enough for me. :P

nice, i've also been meaning to pick up some of jesses art work, but haven't had the bones to throw at them. also who is the artist of the other artwork ?

My records have been sitting sadly in their boxes for 2 months now since I've had to move 3 times (the records only made 2 of the moves). I don't currently have shelving for them, but at my last residence I was using my roommate's 5 square-by-5 square Expedit and my records just fit on it with one shelf to spare. I'm debating whether I should get one large Expedit again, or a couple/few smaller ones.

i don't think you have enough converge records, haha.

I'm inclined to agree... :)

do you keep them in plastic sleeves or no?

Only if they came in one, and sometimes not even then. If the sleeves are a tight fit, for example, I just can't muster the strength to fiddle with them. I once spent five interminable minutes at a record fair trying to get a Björk record back in its plastic sleeve while a bunch of people were eyeballing me. I was kinda waiting for the seller to go "that's okay, I'll take care of it," but he wouldn't let me off the hook. I've had a distaste for plastic sleeves ever since, haha. Of course, they're great for protecting the covers, but since I predominantly get my records through the mail I don't really have a lot of "archival condition" covers to begin with. I treat my records pretty carefully though so they will probably outlive me even without those sleeves.

Getting tired of storing my collection in boxes/waiting to move so I'm planning on shelling out a bit of cash on something nice.

I take it Expedit from IKEA is the way to go?

I have one, and I think it works pretty well.

I also saw someone post about a similar type of bookcase that is available at Home Depot...I also want to say there is something usable at Target as well.

we moved a few months back (bought a townhouse) and my setup changed quite drastically, much less room for all my toy now.

here is my living room / listening room. please note, the subwoofer is NOT part of my hifi system...it is part of the tv surround setup.

main setup / storage area:

these towers run on both my hifi setup and my tv surround setup:

records now overflowing to our expedits in the back of the room:
