That shelving system sort of looks like the one from IKEA I have. I purchased one white and one black and combined the two to make a black & white system along with the CD towers they sell which I also combined B&W. Looks sick and wicked in my rec room, wall to wall music (with music DVD's). I took about 200 albums and hid them in garage though because they are just too valuable to have out. Funny thing is I haven't purchased more than 10 albums in the past two years. It's all come to a screeching halt. Broke.

But the value of the Albums seems to keep going up, especially the early rap and 60's releases.

If I'm ever in a secondhand store I always check the vinyl, but most all the employees know the score, they never hit the racks anymore. I used to know where every thrift store was from BC to Medford OR and made all travel plans accordingly.

I have traveled through the Floyd Hole... Words can not describe.

Do the shelves bow if they're full of LPs? I've been looking at something made of rolled metal because I'm worried that particle board won't bear the weight properly. Does it work because the shelf sections are short? I'd love an ikea option instead of the more spendy ones I'm looking at -- especially because I think I need two of them.

Yeahwho, if yours are from ikea, please answer the bowing question too.

[yeahwho]

ikea, they also have a walnut, birch and black/brown style. I combined the white set with a black brown one, it's bitzness.


You can put a lot of albums on these shelves, books anything, they will not bow or bend. I've had mine for 4-5 years now, they are heavy duty.

[mickill]

Yeah, it's the Expedit shelf from Ikea. It's both a cheap and awesome solution. I've filled every section in the shelfs from end to end, without even the slightest sign of bending. I have a feeling they were probably designed specifically for this purpose, kinda like milk crates were.

There's a thrift store 2 minutes from my house that always has a decent selection. They add stock everyday, but there's this irritating older guy that gets there right when they open and waits around for the staff to bring out the new stuff. I only know this because the few times I've been there first thing in the morning, he's already there sorting through the entire stack of whatever was just put out. I wouldn't care if he was just there for the Herb Alpert and Ray Conniff, but he's always pulling aside stuff I would actually want. So I'm basically just there for his leftovers.

If you think the prices on early rap is out of control, I'd advise you to stay away from collecting 50s/60s jazz or early r&b/funk/soul altogether.

mickill does your original copy of DSOTM on LP have a solid blue triangle on the record label, or just a blue outlined triangle?

[mickill]

No, it isn't the first pressing.

this city is basically built on those shelving units. I know about a dozen people including myself who all use Expedit to house records and equipment. the octoversion of that bookshelf flipped onto its side, you're laffing.

I don't really have anything to say about Pink Floyd.

[Documad]

I love this place. It's perfect that the pink floyd discussion turned into a shelving discussion.

I've been visiting every furniture store in town and trying to hang my body off a shelf to see if I can make it bend. I know I look ridiculous but my current shelves are bent like mad. Ikea didn't have the big shelving on display when I was there. I need to go to Ikea again and find the shelving and try to lean on it really hard.

[mickill]

I am so confident in these shelving units that, if you can provide evidence of you or someone you know actually getting one to bend, yeahwho will send you $100.

[yeahwho]

Sure.

Roger Waters is on the cover of this month's MOJO magazine and talks about how 'The Wall still haunts him' and stuff.

Anything else? You sure you don't want to add a skill testing question or exempt people who have arms?

[yeahwho]

The "elephant in the room" moment for Meddle is that San Tropez song. It's like a bad Jimmy Buffet song. It's fucking awful. This is the sort of song that knocks an album down way more than one notch.

San Tropez is a very unreasonable song.
