ok as the title says, i am wondering what the best way is for me to store my records?

i have finally gotten my record player goin, after about 2 years of collecting records but not having a record player, and i have stored them a few different way.

first i had them in a draw lying down but i herad somewhere that that wasnt good so i then had them standing upright between 2 book stopper type thingsbut i didnt want to damage them so now i have them standing up in a cardboard box but i dont like the angle that some of them are sitting at.

so please any suggestions welcome.

cheers

have them standing up on end, they will warp if you lay them down flat. Also, make sure they are standing as straight up as possible as well. I have a good collection of some priceless records and my old man told me this is the best way to store them

I use this

as well as various other shelves and milk crates.

yeah, use crates.. those kind you can stack up.

heh, i collect records and don't have a record player yet either.

someday...

thanks guys.... after reading what kwlll said i decided to get some book stoppers. i ended up making them at work out of glass that i got out of 2 old scanners and some old plactic sides off an old computer. they actually work pretty well and i may post some pics when i get a chance.
