That's an Expedite, right? I couldn't fit my In Rainbows in mine. Does yours have a lot of lean on it? From that shot, it looks like it may be stressing the LP's to the left of it.

Nice collection.

AndySlash

thanks. yes, expedit, and the in rainbows "discbox" doesn't fit in there properly, but i think it's just a bad angle for the image- in person it's easy to see the records are sitting just fine; i certainly wouldn't leave them that way if it were the case.

UGHHHHHH they have some amazing collections here! Mine is not as pretty and clean as everybody's but I do not own any "new" vinyl, it's all records I bought used.. But here it is!

Got 2 new Kallax 2x4s. can't wait to get them set up and to migrate all my records from the last 9 months into them.

Such a cool room!

Treyert14, we have a lot of LPs that look just the same haha. They might not have a pretty outside, but I love it when I find good stuff at the garage sale or resale store. It kind of feels like you are giving it a new life And isn't it amazing how sometimes a cover can be completely neglected, but the LP is in pristine condition? We have some of them in plastic covers to preserve them a bit.

So true! I actually prefer vintage records, like you said it's kinda like your giving them new life! And I keep all my beatles records in plastic covers.

This is most of my partner's music collection. The wall in the background has vinyl in 2 rows from left to right. He says there'5 5000+ records. He's worked in the industry for 30+ years so pretty well hasn't paid full price for anything if that 'excuses' him. Ha ha. There's another shelf of it's own of boxsets & another couple of shelves of CDs.

That's one Big Collection

Thing is, it is pretty organised, alphabetical etc. he can find things pretty quickly, I guess I just want it all shelved properly so it can be seen in full glory. haha. :-)

Just wondering if anyone knows how one should best shelve vinyl. I notice that a lot of you have your records on a lean, I.e. aren't filling the shelf completely. I personally fill the shelves so that I can't put another record in there (well I can, actually - one or two if I squeeze them. But i don't want them TOO tight since it could cause extra ring wear or even warping). Is there a reason some of you leave so much room though? Is it better for the records? Or is it just so you can browse through them more easily (I just go by the spines)?
:-B

I never got into the lean. I don't doubt there is a reason some do it, but I leave just enough space to make it loose enough to move records in and out, but also not to make the presentation too sloppy

I actually hate the slight lean. But if you go to any record shop they are definitely leaning in the bins.

I had just put my shelves together and was happy to put stuff away and on shelves again.

I am having trouble with the 7" records though. Not as many of those, so I am looking for a good way to store them.

I never let my records lean unless they aren't filling up a square.

Finally set up my two new 2x4 kallax. LPs sorted and put away.
