MANILA -- You have gotten into an expensive hobby such as record collecting. Your collection is now accumulating and now you’re wondering about storage and how to protect your discs.One such appeal of vinyl is the album art. Your collection is like having your own record museum version of the Louvre. All right, that is an exaggeration because nothing compares to the Louvre. But I am sure you get my drift -- storing them or putting them on display is part of the fun.
There are also cabinets that can be purchased anywhere from P2,000 to P7,000 that are actually bookshelves and collectively can hold anywhere from 750 to 800 records. What makes the number of records vary is the kind of records you have. The 180-gram records are thicker that usually come in gatefold jackets. Records pressed from the 1950s up to the early 1990s are thinner; hence, you can include more on your shelf.And, of course, you can custom your record racks.
Let’s backtrack. The resealable, well, it’s nice if you aren’t playing your records again. Because repeated opening and resealing causes the plastic to lose its sense of pristineness for those who are OC.Then there’s the inner plastic for your records. There is the anti-static that is expensive and your ordinary plastic. I keep all mine is the latter. If you insert them in their paper sleeves, they get scratched.
Back in the 1980s, if you couldn’t afford the imported record cleaners, you settled with this local cleaner that came in what looked like a medicine bottle. But this was a scary solution to use as sometimes, it literally melted the vinyl!
