How to Store Vinyl Records

Video Transcript

"Alright, now it's time, I want to give you some tips about how to store your records so that you're not going to damage them, and, of course, obviously to keep them clean as well. Now it's important to stack them vertically as opposed to horizontally. Now you can see, I've got them underneath my DJ table right here, they're all stacked vertically. I actually have them generalized, my Italo Disco record, put it with my other Italo Disco records right over here. Now the reason you don't want them to be stacked horizontally, it's okay to stack some horizontally, but a whole lot of them is bad for the record, it puts pressure on the wrong spots, whereas you're not going to have a lot of pressure on the record like this. Records are surprisingly strong. You put a lot of them together, you can actually stack boxes right up on top of each other as long as you have a strong base and it's not really going to damage them, but it will damage them if you have like three hundred stacked up like this."
