Storage for your vinyl records




Lets look at some good storage for your vinyl. I found a couple of different options.

 1. The ikea kallax bookshelf. This one is budget friendly. Its price is the lowest in the guide. at 499 kr or (49euro) Almost every(bigger) town has a Ikea. easy to assemble, minimal design. available in 7 colors.
The dimensions are 77x147cm with 8 sections.
They also show on their webpage the bookshelf horizontaly, with LP records stored in it with an recordplayer ontop. So the dimension will have room for the size of a LP record.
The material is a blend of different papermaterials. Even if the weight is low it looks sturdy.

2.Zomo VS-box space Ive chosen this one, not strictly competeing with the ikea bookshelf. Instead a complete different variant.  Its tilted. Made out of MDF material. comes in different colors. It looks like it can hold about 50 LP records. The pricetag is 89 euros. So you get a variant that holds less records in expense of the special design.

3.Glorious - Turntable lowboard. A complete furniture. looks like something you have at a office waiting room in the 60's (but in exclusive design). It holds a recordplayer and approx 50 records. It has legs. Material is mdf wood. Price is 270 euros. Beautiful piece of furniture in elegant design. 

4. Zomo recordcase rp50 xt silver Last lets look at this recordcase. Perhaps you just want a storage you can take to a gig and a lp box at home. It holds 50 records. Has a key for locking. foam interieur. 69 euros. Perfect companion when gigging with records.

Odd records - worth collecting?

Some records are intresting for a collector because of their uniqueness. There are still alot of cratediggers out there, seeing how many recordshops with 2nd hand records there are. I used to dig in the crates for records for about 20 years. Read my article on restarting  my record collection made me a better dj. Found a box full of records that I forgot about there were sitting in storage. These were odd records, Lp's that Ive collected beacause they had vocals and effects on them. Because of their uniqueness Lets look closer: Sci-Fi - soundeffects . A record filled with EFX blips and space-ish sounds. Released on BBC records in 1981. Not your avarage synthrecord, but for the scifi nerd. It says on the back that its intended for radio and tv use. Could perhaps be for use for a dj so the level of  uniqueness is 4/5. The age of television . This is something more listenable. It contains narration of the story of television. And recordings of historic tv broadcast such as the m...

The Roland tr909

The Roland tr909. The classic drumcomputer that gave housemusic its sound. The distinct kick, cymbals and snares are heard on the majority of records in housemusic. From classic, to the latest future house releases. The tr909. A updated version of the tr808 analog drummer from 81. But this had a hybrid soundengine that also featured samples in the cymbalsection. They weren't soldout in the stores, instead they were often found below their standard price elsewhere. Dj's and producers started buying them for cheap, and with more records it was heard on the more popular it became. Electronic drumcomputers were common in the 80's, almost every genre had synthetic drums. The 808 was marketed as the future drummachine, the computer controlled sequencer with analog sound synthesis. So when the 909 came along the musicians quickly adopted it in their future sound palette. Its accent function boosts certain sounds in the steps from the sequencer wile the unaccented steps rema...

DJ Rasoul 1998 (Large)

DJ Rasoul 1998 (Large) Super record from the later end of the 90's. This EP has 3 songs, Let the music, Slingshot and Francisco Nights. Side A with "Let the music" has a dark bassline and acoustic piano, togheter with strings and the classic house rythm. Dub echos and analogue synth sounds. The song isnt just a 4-bar loop. It has lots of variations. In the middle of the song a soul vocal is heard. Also percussive elements. The later end of the song seams happier,  like the minor chords are swapped with major scale instead. What I dont like about this song is the tb303 "like"-sounds towards the end. It gives the impression of a comedy sound. On side B on "Slingshot" the quality is high on the production. With groovy basslines and arpeggio-like elements. The rythm is more disco on this song. 1/3-into the song the loopy groove evolves with a acoustic piano. Then 2/3- the song goes back to the loopy status again. I like this song, its groovy and has catchy...
