For the past few days I have been attempting to put my 5000+ LP collection into some sort of order..
what a PITA
After a while, I noticed that I wasn't really storing some of the LP's correctly, so decided to re-clean and restore some of the many albums. I have never really had a very good way of cataloging the titles and now would like to get some ideas as to how you guys are doing this...
Also, how are you storing your collection? In what racks and are they open to the air or ?
Recently, I had the surprise of seeing a fellow collector who has appx 25K Lp's; wherein when we started to look at some of his prized pieces, we were shocked to see mold growing on the inner and outer sleeves and labels among other nasties . Which is why I have started to go through my collection again to make sure the storage is up to par. With this in mind,we probably should all be doing this about every other year
