How to store your vinyl 12" records

Alright folks, loads of people are always asking me how to store vinyl. Where's the best place to store it? Maybe you haven't got much room. Well hopefully in this video I'll give you a few ideas. But before I give you some ideas, I'll show you how you shouldn't really store your vinyl. It says 100 but I'm definitely going to get 120 in here. That there is known as a flight case for your 12 inch singles. Now generally... This sort of size, you can get about 100 in. Smaller, you can get about 70. This is the deal. Look, I can move them. Don't cram them in because you could end up knackering your vinyl. That's one way of looking after your vinyl and keeping it in good condition. Also a way of storing it but generally cases like this are used for the DJ who's on the road who wants to transport their vinyl to their gig.

Alright, so maybe you can't afford any of those flight cases. Well, try this. A cardboard box. One important factor, make sure it's a sturdy, thick type of cardboard. Also very important, make sure the underneath is very solid as well. Do not use these for transportation purposes. These, in a sense, are ideal for just storage. 12 inches wide. I can put the vinyl in like that. Now you notice we've got the flappy bits. Well guess what? All you've got to do is sellotape those like so on the other side. And again, put them out of the way. Don't put them in a warm environment. One big tip for you. Always store your vinyl like that. Never store your vinyl flat on top of each other. That's one very important tip.

So there you go. A small way and a few ideas on how to look after your vinyl and definitely not how to store your vinyl. If you've got any more ideas, post them underneath this one. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
