Storage Tips for Vinyl Records

Video Transcript

"I've got a few more tips I want to throw at you about storing your records to make sure they take the least damage and they stay in great condition. One of the biggest tips is you keep them somewhere dry. If you leave them in the musty basement in your grandmother's house for like a year or two, moisture, if it's moist in there, moisture can get in, your records really can start to mold. That will be bad for the covers, it's bad for the record, though you can clean the mold off the record and you'll probably be okay if it hasn't taken too much damage. Even more important than that, keep aware from extreme temperatures. Keeping them in the freezing, or even worse, the very warm, or anything that fluctuates temperature often, that's what causes the record to warp, and a warp, sure fire way to cause a skip and you're going to ruin great records if you're going to do that. Keep them somewhere where it stays the same temperature pretty much the whole time, it doesn't get moist, that's the way you want to do it."
