Good to see the Allnic hasn’t exploded yet….

Waxy · 27 November 2019 23:11

Was briefly tempted by another stage but sense prevailed.

I love my Spyboxes

Griffo · 27 November 2019 23:24

well I quite enjoyed that. I will investigate further.

Waxy · 27 November 2019 23:25

How high can you stack them? I have a few records…

Edit: I have emailed them to ask

spacehopper · 27 November 2019 23:30

Go backwards in his discography as he has a huge amount albums kicking about.

Spotify is your friend - quality is variable as he was always a bit too out there for most mainstream labels and he liked to control his own music.

I’ve got four stacked but would be happy to stack five before thinking about attaching to the wall - they are very solidly built.

MJ2 · 27 November 2019 23:38

I use the cheap IKEA stuff, stacked 2 high on one side, 3 on the other but I have seen them 6 high.

Waxy · 27 November 2019 23:43

IKEA is the obvious starting point when cost is the main driver. I am also looking at stacking my hifi kit vertically to free up more space. I need somehow to incorporate a fish tank…

Meanwhile

htm_1968 · 27 November 2019 23:49

I use Ikea Kallax. These are 4x4 units on the bottom with a 1x4 lying across the top. I may need to change as this picture is old and both units are now rammed. I also have a 2x2 and 2x1 Eket unit which is also full. I really like the eket as an alternative to Kallax

Waxy · 27 November 2019 23:53

I roughly estimate that I have about 7 metres of records when all stacked together. A 5x5 Kallax gives me 8.25m of shelf space…

Just need to relocate the fish tank

Edit: we appear to have the same Carlton Melton poster, Ólan @htm_1968

Those valve amps must get mighty toasty

Waxy · 27 November 2019 23:55

Much like work expanding to fill the available time, record collections expand to fill the available space.

spacehopper · 27 November 2019 23:59

Another one to add to your wants list guys - a so-called lost album but amazing all the same.

Waxy · 28 November 2019 00:21

Undoubtedly in my top ten.

spacehopper · 28 November 2019 00:26

Rude not to

Waxy · 28 November 2019 00:28

Hopefully one day the powers that be will repress Ptah The El Daoud. Discogs vinyl prices have reached stoooopid levels. $1500!!!

hermit · 28 November 2019 00:34

I may be wrong but I think the original masters were lost in the Universal fire. If so there will be no repress.

A lot of the stuff we like now was totally obscure when it was realeased and had a very limited amount of albums pressed but thankfully there has always been music nerds.

I know Giles Peterson is a twat, but in the context of the this music, he’s up there with John Peel.
