LPs - display/storage etc ideas


Hi. i'm soooo tired of trying to find a good way to solve the age-old problem of record storage. anyone come up with some cool solutions? if you stack them you can't read the sides and it's annoying to flip through them. if you have them foward facing you can only have a few at a time and then they take up a whole wall. i'm thinking of building a while wall shelving unit for them but need some thoughts and 'watch outs.' i dont feel like spending 1500 on a billy bags metal rack that i can build for 50 bucks, either. thanks in advance.

I say get one of the racks like the record stores used to have. The ones I'm talking about are tiered, and have like three different levels, maybe four feet tall. That way the records face you, and you can flip through them easily.

I don't have vinyl, so don't share this problem, but I was impressed some way when I saw one in a friends house. Your makin a statement with one of these, I think, that the records are more than just left overs from the 70's (my usual reaction). Lately I've noticed there is one (but never more than one) like I am talking about in every small antique shop, or small resale shop. Try one out, you'll see.
