Moving LPs

Moving LPs, those fragile and heavy beasts, is always a source of pain and amusement. The featured photo is from Retro Vintage Modern Hi-Fi.

Over the years, it seems we end up trying several methods of clunking these heavy things around.

These guys at Van Bonn dispensed with the crates, boxes or string approach and just piled in the albums. Of course, if they accelerate at all while they are driving,  they are going are going to have a surprise when they open the back of the truck when they get to their destination.

This is the way I have usually moved albums when I was younger. Now we use moving boxes which seal up nice and allow efficient filling and stacking of our albums.

Never tried this ribbon-tying technique. Seems to work. These last two photos are from Soul Clap Records

I think moving this warehouse of LPs might be a lot of work.

Sometimes I think our house looks like this to people who visit. But, you know, I think we still have a ways to go. Besides, CDs, being SLIGHTLY more robust, are more often tossed around like this here  🙂

But let this be a warning to all of us to keep our collections organized on a day-to-day basis – or things WILL get out of hand.
