RE: Moving Vinyl Collection

Posted by tunenut on June 9, 2021 at 18:15:06:

A few thoughts. I personally would not trust anything of value that can be easily damaged to movers. If you have some particularly valuable or irreplaceable records, I would carry those with you at least. Anything they put in storage could end up in a hot room somewhere. Usually this is OK but what if they just happen to put it in direct sun? You have no control.

Also, if you have slit a record sleeve and the tight plastic is still on it (I have many like this), that is a real danger in heat. The plastic sleeve can shrink and warp the record. Cut them so they are loose or replace them.

A final step to avoid warpage, make sure they are packed tightly against each other, use newspaper or something to fill spaces.

I personally consider most LPs hard to replace these days and I treat them with care. I would move them myself.
