For someone with a little bit of ambition with the end result a lot more self-satisfaction may I recommend that you:
Buy some veneered 3/4" plywood of your choice with 1/4" plywood veneer for the back of the case. Prices for cabinet grade plywood will vary from 50.00-90.00 for 3/4" and 30.00-65.00 for 1/4", depending on the area you live in. You will also need a few tools including a tape measure, a 7 1/4" power saw with a thin kerf panel blade, a straight edge and a hand plane. For trim on the case edges and shelves of the plywood you may want to add some round molding which you could order by the lineal foot or if you are really ambitious you might buy some solid stock of matching wood and a router and make your own.
In addition to the above you will need a fine grit sand paper, 220-320 and a few coats of finish. A satin or semi-gloss urethane is simple to apply and tough but for the more ambitious, a laquer or oil finish might be preferable and certainly more attractive.
I know this may sound like too much work for some but the end result is something custom made for your needs and in the process you save money and have the satisfaction of making it yourself. A bookcase/record cabinet is a quite simple beginner woodworking project. In the event you don't want to go the route of building it yourself you may consider a local cabinet maker/woodworker who could custom make it for you to fit your specific needs and space requirements at a nominal cost.
