The soundtrack to Ghostbusters was the first album I ever owned on any format. I used to play that, "The Chipmunks", and the Gambler on loop when I was around 5. Still have the Ghostbuster LP too.

So what is everyone using to store their awesome video game soundtracks? I'm using a cheap plastic crate I foundand its *just* not wide enough for a standard LP. Luckily I only have 12, so they can be stored canted for the time being.

Nothing. Just asked above how to transport them. I'm pretty resourceful. I'll come up with something soon and post it.

So I'm moving here very soon. what are the best options to transport my stuff?

Plastic crates? Banker Boxes?


How far is the move? Across town, across the county, or somewhere in between?

How many records? 50, 500, or 5000?

I only ask, because depending on your answers-there are different appropriate solutions. I've made each of the above moves multiple times, with different numbers of records each time.

Another way to do it (if your move involves a moving van) is fill the furniture/cabinet/shelving system you use currently with the wax. Plastic and blanket wrap the cabinet, and make it the last thing you load on the truck.

Unwrap it at the new crib, and viola!

Hiring movers. Going about 20 hours north from Texas to Michigan. My collection is a paltry 150 or so records :emb:

I figured I'll take my most important ones with me in my car and pack some of my less important in a box to put on a truck. Just don't want them to get damaged that's all.

I may take all in my car. I plan to take my turntable with.

20 hr ride, no worries of damage? Cop a couple of these, and you are good.

Ask for a refund. IMO it's not very good and almost all tracks are arranged versions.

Also on the 23rd the repress of carpenter brutes trilogy go up for preorder.

They still haven't shipped it. Mailed them again yesterday and no answer yet.

What the fuck man, that's ridiculous. I already got my Axiom Verge album last week from them. Though their packaging left something to be desired. There were only two flimsy pieces of bubblewrap, one each on the top and bottom. Nothing to protect the edges, which got a bit of damage of course...

Turns out USPS refused to ship it for some unknown reason. Still, this doesn't excuse the lack of customer service regarding answering emails.

That's stupid, but like you said there's no excuse for their shoddy fucking customer service. Have they remedied the situation and gotten it shipped out finally, or did you tell them to shove it and demand your money back?

You're scaring me a little man, I still haven't gotten mine. I hope it comes in one piece...

Did you check if it was warped? I read some comments on facebook the other day complaining that theirs was... mine was shipped the same way but got here undamaged.

They will ship it again when they're back from Japan. Of course their store page didn't say anything about them being in Japan right now, only facebook did... :rolleyes:

Unrelated:
I just shipped some CD as registered mail to the US but that idiot forgot to update his address listed in PayPal, is it even possible for him to arrange a redelivery to his current address? He still lives in the same town.

Only if he just moved... then he can file a change of address with the post office which will forward all his mail.
