Putting covers up on the wall. How do you do it?

markus71

I like putting up nice looking sleeves on the wall. I have been using a wooden strip for this up till now that can hold a row of like 5 records.I have seen those old school chain systems in recordstores before and I was wondering where you can find these.Anyone has anything like this?

I say fuck it to my walls and buy some of those 3M sticky adhesive pads. They actually do come off pretty clean if you use a knife between the wall and the adhesive.

I just hit up Michaels during their framing sales...you can get the record frames for $4 or $5 each...and I just buy plain white sleeves from bags unlimited for the records and hang up the jackets...

Oh, I was thinking of just using covers that have beater records in them, not the real deal. Isn't that inconvenient when you actually want to play those records?

Putting 'em on the wall is a good way to fade the covers; better to keep 'em filed in art and wine storage with the spines in (to avoid spine fading) so the colors still look crisp when I acquire them upon your passing.

well sometimes I'll take the records out and put them in a sleeve in a crate I keep near my turntable. It's mostly my new finds that go up on the wall so I can remember to play them and it also keeps the room looking a little more fresh for my own benefit.

The Larry T. was from the Heatrock auctions we had here nearly 2 years back. Probably the most sentimental record I own.

Ah, that makes sense actually, a good way to put some new stuff in rotation.

And yeah, I heard the Larry T & the Family the other day and it blew my mind. #1 want. Uh...I mean it sucks and none of you reading this thread should be interested!

From.......urban outfitters? They had these for sale in the dirt cheap range over the summer. Haven't been round since, but I'd think they're still there. Quality metal frames.

I found a bunch of these at Goodwill in my area about 5 or so years ago.
