| Modular LP record storage suggestions The Boltz LP-2012-1 (storage capacity 90 LP’s) costs $269. The single cube IKEA EKET (capacity 60-65 LP’s) costs $20. The 4-cube EKET (capacity 250-260) costs $60. The fifteen 4-cube EKETs I bought cost me $750 (current price $900), and will ac... | |
| Marianne Faithfull At the dawn of the 20's, I anticipated this would be a brutal decade for 1960's generation bands, musicians, and singers. Think about how many we've already lost in the first four years. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I guess then that the wood used to form the plywood is Beech, not Baltic Birch. But "placed under extreme pressure and heat to create an entirely new, solid and massive material." Is "plinth" the term the English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh use fo... | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions For those with a nearby IKEA, compare the KALLAX to the EKET. The superiority of the latter over the former will be glaringly obvious. Push on the side of the KALLAX (near the top) and see what happens. Then do the same to an EKET. | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions A 4-cube EKET costs $60, two for $120, four for $240. Each 4-cube model holds around 250-260 LP's. Comes with a back panel, no wood, glue, and screws necessary. Better looking (in dark gray) than the KALLAX, and more structurally stiff and soli... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Looks like Baltic Birch plywood, a great stiff, low resonance form of wood (most popular in it's 19mm/13-ply form). Art Dudley made the base for his TD-124 out of the stuff. It’s also great for equipment racks and/or shelves. | |
| A great has died Wow @petaluman, I’ll second @rpeluso’s perfect comment. The best summation of Garth Hudson’s character and talent I’ve ever read, and I’ve read everything ever written about The Band, my by far favorite musical combo (Rock ’n’ Roll or otherwise... | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions @ozzy62: I picked a cube in which all the LP’s were single discs in non-gatefold covers, and counted them. How many LP’s will fit in each EKET cube (and any other storage rack) will of course be determined by how thick your LP packages are, how... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) @rayd and @slaw: That original Mom's Apple Pie cover was a result of no one at the record company noticing the female genitalia hidden inside the pie. No pun intended. | |
| Favorite Cover Album Bloody Mary's in the morning, beer in the afternoon, and whiskey at night. | |
| New In 2025 This reissue actually had a release date of 12-13-24, but I just found out about it. It’s Little Richard’s 1970 "comeback" album on Reprise Records entitled The Rill Thing, and from the report I heard (plus descriptions of it from it’s original... | |
| Favorite Cover Album I was standing at the stove this morning drinking a Bloody Mary and making breakfast while thinking about David Lynch (I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos regarding him since his death), when out of the blue The Band’s covers album Moond... | |
| Modular LP record storage suggestions I agree with you about the IKEA KALLAX shelving units. If you push on them from one side, the whole unit bends! If I was forced to use the KALLAX, I would install support bars across the rear. The KALLAX is also a little too deep for my liking,... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) @stuartk: Yep, I have Woodstock Vision, both the original 1994 edition by Continuum Publishing, and the 1996 edition that Landy published himself (LandyVision, Inc.). Both are 128 page paperbacks, with front covers different from each other and... |
