How do you store your albums

First of all, LPs are worth far LESS than you think. I'd suggest you are dreaming when you believe you have many albums worth hundreds of dollars each. By way of example, the "collectible/rare" LP you buy from a second-hand record shop at $50-100 can be resold to the store for only $5-10. That's reality. BUT... the same records are worth a LOT more to you and to me because they are wicked cool, sound great, and are artwork. With respect to storage, store them intact in their outer jacket in LP plastic sleeves (available readily) and always vertically. Don't lay them flat. The installation of a built-in LP storage cabinet by a quality woodworker craftsman looks stunning in the home.

Since others have given invaluable advice in regard to record storage, I have nothing to add; however I am interested in purchasing Jazz LP's, top condition of course.

Thanks for the responses. I'll look for a cool book case and pick up the sleeves. The MF's really are cool and sound great!!

You should clean the records and put them in MoFi inner sleeves. Outer sleeves protect the covers from wear and tear. The Ikea Expedit bookcase is superb for record storage, the records fit in the cube spaces perfectly and the case is incredibly sturdy and stable.

Two words...IKEA Expedit.

The albums all have their original MoFi inner sleeves and cardboard inner protector and all that I have inspected so far are perfect, no dirt no scratches, like they have never been played. One of them is a box set "Crime of the Century", I think it's called something like UHQD?? I have an Ikea close so I'll take a look. Thanks!!
