Sorry to ask here, but I searched and didn't find many good-looking/simple record crates. Any hints? 


Need to try and store the ones I have better before buying more (I already have a wish list).

I buy all mine from Tony's woodshop:

They stack and are all hardwood. He also sells matching bases and tops, which I own as well. Nice guy, great product.

Couple of good scores today:

Wings - Band on the Run: really minty looking early pressing.

Tom Waits - Heart of Saturday Night: again a minty looking early pressing.

Guy who runs the local record store says he just cannot keep Tom Waits records in stock, period. As soon as he gets them they sell. I guess Waits is an artist that lends himself towards serious vinyl listening. :)

I might run back by the store on Friday for RSD, but there wasn't anything on the RSD list that seriously grabbed my attention, so I figured I'd go today to show my support in case I don't make it Friday.

Mind if I ask what you think of the Heart Of Saturday Night LP?
Thanks.......C

BTW, I picked up an Excellent Civil Wars 10" record the other day:
Between The Bars.
It contains a rather interesting version of MJ's "Billie Jean".

Well the music is great of course. Sound quality wise it has a pretty big sound, the strings and whatnot sound nice, but unfortunately Waits vocals come across as thin, as does the whole recording really. Maybe my copy just has some distortion but I don't think so, its a pretty clean copy, very little surface noise, so I think it was treated well.

Its an Asylum Records/Elektra pressing, catalog number 7E-1015-A SP, deadwax ESRTD6476.

Anyone tried the whole wood glue record cleaning technique? I figure I'll give it a go on some of my nigh unlistenables.

I plan to try it with a really poor quality Moody Blues - Days of Future Past.

Yeah, I just did it on a few records. Worked like a charm. I'd like to be able to use less glue per side so 16oz can get me farther. Will need to perfect my technique

Bought my first new and sealed LP today.  Metallica And Justice for All 2014 re-issue (=2008 reissue)

Excitedly got home and played the first LP (it's 2 LP's with 2 songs per side), sounds like crap lots of pops and crackle, notice it is out of round as my needle veers left and right.

Whip out LP 2 and I stop in my tracks as both sides are scratched like they were forgotten around a pile of records and tossed around.

Back to the store they go :(  Really shitty first "new" new record experience so far!!
