@donlduck1 Good point. I've a modest 1300+ of NM in record store style (and around 600 VG+/VG stored in crates) and it does take up space.
Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving
Just picked up this cool record cabinet. Mid Century. Looks custom built. Red glass front and back.
Top pops up on right side. Probably started life as a Hi-Fi console.
I bought some hairpin legs and strip LED lights for the interior.
Please share your unique record shelving/cabinets.
Just upload your jpgs to https://imgbox.com/
Once they’re uploaded copy/paste the Links Only address.

@fleschler I'm humbled. That's both impressive and disconcerting at the same time! |
I've sold 18,000 records in the past 30 years. I have a rule, if I don't potentially want to hear a record 3 times a year, out it goes. I only have so much storage space (or desire to accumulate/hear more 78s and LPs. I still buy many CDs, big box sets (classical) cheap per CD and lots of great jazz (especially where the original LP is very expensive). |
By 2015 quite a few musicians I had been involved with had died (still more have died since, including Evan Johns. John Wicks, and Emitt Rhodes), and I started seriously contemplating my own mortality (I'm no spring chicken). I looked at my racks of LP's and CD's (around 5,000 of each), and wondered to myself how many of them would I have time to listen to even once more in my remaining time on Earth. I went through them all, deciding which I could live without, and got rid of about 1,500 of each. Then Covid hit, and with all upcoming gigs cancelled I started watching YouTube videos, where I discovered "The Vinyl Community". Record collectors of all stripes, making and posting videos about their favorite LP's, artists/bands, etc. I was introduced to both artists/bands I had either somehow missed in times past, or current ones I was unaware of. Thanks Vinyl Community (and the What's On Your Turntable Tonight posters here on Agon), now you have me again addicted. ;-) |
