I recently found a great Rolling Stones bootleg box set at a thrift... I know...jackpot right! (France ECC labels and one white label)

Anyway... the reason I think I got it was because the box was destroyed. The vinyl is near mint however and sounds, as well as a bootleg can sound I guess.

I need a new box to put the records in. Does anyone sell nice new boxes like the ones an LP set like this might come in? It would be nice to get a nice new sturdy black box to put these guys in.

are the ones I've relied on over the years, but I don't ever recall seeing blank multi-record boxes like the ones in which record companies package sets. I imagine most of those are made to order, as the widths of sets are not standard. Your best bet might be getting individual blank jackets and combining them in a mailer; or, if that's not esthetically pleasing, take a look at the "flats display book" linked below at Bags Unlimited. You could get one of those, put the individual LPs in paper sleeves, and then store them in the display book. Would look better on a shelf than a corrougated mailer.

Go to your nearest thrift store and buy a one of the box sets on offer (they can't seem to even give opera box sets away at most places.) Grab a picture of the Stones that you like off the net, print it out, and paste it over the picture on the box.

much cheaper than the other options, and it gives you an excuse to thumb through what they have.
