LJC reader collections

1. LJC contributor – Jeffrey‘s storage bins.

I love this! A record store-simulation without having to leave home! And no price tickets Great! The woodwork designs can be found at AudioKarma if there are any carpenters out there. Jeffrey tells me the inspiration for the design is no longer having to squint to read record spines – you can simply flip covers, as nature intended. Grrreat!

2. LJC contributor Tim‘s “retro” black and white collection

Now this is seriously cool. Bulk storage has room to breathe – space for more records, and a near-turntable storage area for current listening. Oh and a few random boxes of overflow that haven’t made it to either area. Sound familiar? Great stuff. Thanks Tim.

3. LJC contributor Dave from Atlanta, the Upstairs Downstairs solution

Dave’s two thousand records in an Upstairs Downstairs storage solution – a big “hands on” area next to the turntable for the “good stuff”, that’s neat. But what’s that I see? Is that red and black Impulse spines grouped together? I have often thought about filing by label rather than artist, whatever works best for you. Then there is something lurking in the cellar, the morgue, boxed but alphabeticised, for the “haven’t figured what to do with these” stuff. Life below stairs. Brilliant, Dave, thanks for sharing. Oh, I have Oprah on the line…

4. LJC contributor Phil from CT, illustrates domestic harmony

Perfect solution, Phil integrates his “small” vinyl collection into a domestic setting, as a living room sideboard, in white.And great covers on display in front of the less attractive record spines. For some of us, records are banished to the “man cave”. Nice one, Phil. We also see Phil Jr. being inducted into to the fine art of crate digging. Get ‘em while they are young.

Later, you could may be introduce junior to the finer points of mono and stereo recordings…that is “real” stereo as opposed to…oh never mind.

5.LJC contribution from Sonny, who favours Red

Shades of Redd, and another fan of Expedit for displaying covers. Neat! I like the saxophone as objet trouvé.

6. LJC contribution: Matty’s Man-cave from Holland

Apparently this is just the vinyl section. As much space again is available for the Evil Silver Disc opposite. Great! Thanks Matty. I just love seeing shelves of vinyl.

7. LJC contribution: John has sent in this photo of his cool urban setting for some choice records. The Blue Train poster sets the cool tone and I see a Dyson on hand to make sure things stay cool.

Umm…cool, John,  and nice to see the flag waving with Stan Tracey  down there on the bottom right. Just room for a few more records before every collectors dilema kicks in: where oh where to put the second Expedit?

Plenty more space if you want to put your collection on Dr LJC’s couch.
