Guest Andy Kempster Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Finally got round to converting the under used dining room to my own record room. What a result. Have you got your own record room too...? Lets have have a look I'll put pics up of mine tomorrow when its done Atb Andy
Guest The Record Box Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I also have my own record room under the roof, complete with 2 x Technics SL1200 LTD Gold and a Pioneer 600 all sitting in a nice flightcase. 1
Pete S Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 On the one wall I've got three floor to ceiling bookshelves containing all my singles (well not all, just the soul and reggae), theres a table pushed against the next wall which has my mac and pc on it, then on the third wall (the one opposite the singles) there's a tv, sky, playstation 3 and a jukebox. Now if I had a pool table the room would be complete but if I did, no-one would be able to get in. 3
Guest Andy Kempster Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Cheers for that Pete. Now i feel cheated. I want more more more
Guest The Record Box Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Sounds like a fully kitted out social club Pete.
Scotters Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Secret passage to mine but only works for me..like Narnia..takes me to a different place away from the day to day! Wife sometimes locks me in there by mistake as she doesn't know it exists! Actually I think she does know but I like to think its just my sanctuary, which it truly is when I need it. If only it were bigger. 1
Guest Andy Kempster Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 He he. Nice one steve. The mrs has insisted i move into another roon so she can pretend i am not there. Bet she remembers where i am when the bins need taking out tho
Biggordy Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I've got one but the missus has invaded it and put "pretty" stuff in it like flowers and paintings and her books on a bookshelf.
Seano Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I've got one but the missus has invaded it and put "pretty" stuff in it like flowers and paintings and her books on a bookshelf. Mine is fairly clear at the moment, but at various times is the dumping ground for all of our clutter.
Sjclement Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 my side of 'our' room shelves are wine boxessshhhhh..... 2
Guest The Record Box Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I will have to pop round and raid your house. 1
Guest Andy Kempster Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 On the way to getting sorted. Need to sort the boxes out now. Thats a tomorrow job
Pete S Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Sounds like a fully kitted out social club Pete. Spose it does, it's the only room I'm allowed to smoke in (at night only, with fan fully on and all windows open) and it's also my 'office' so I spend most of my time in here to be honest.
Guest The Record Box Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Be honest Pete, then you can enjoy the pleasure of smoking without being harrassed!! If only Sir Walter Raleigh was into Northern Soul.
Tony Smith Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Best one was Ady Croasdell's old Riding House flat, records covering almost every surface including the kitchen, good job he never did any cooking! 1
Guest Andy Kempster Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Thats a whole different ball game tony. Hell lets face we would all love to have that but thats ady. And ady is ady and thats,why he is a legend but i am referring to us average joe schmoes
45cellar Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 My first shelves were bought ready built, ended up years later building to my own specifications using contiboard. Designing from scratch It took me and my Son a day putting them together , measuring etc. Custom built and definitely worth the trouble as I managed to create strong shelves that also allow air to circulate at the back of them, floor to ceiling.
TOAD Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 would never risk my tunes on shelves ! May look nice but easy to steal etc padlocked boxes for me
soulsalmon Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 You should all try the 7 inch storage cubes from Blackka,brilliant,modular,pre-sanded,finish to your own taste,cheap as well

Orotava Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 On the way to getting sorted. Need to sort the boxes out now. Thats a tomorrow job How`s the tomorrow job going Andy?
Biggordy Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Around 1400 45s stored in plastic boxes, most of my LPs, some 12"s and a couple of thousand CDs. Also my computer is in here too. As you can see the missus has started introducing her clutter including a chest freezer........
Ik001 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 On the one wall I've got three floor to ceiling bookshelves containing all my singles (well not all, just the soul and reggae), theres a table pushed against the next wall which has my mac and pc on it, then on the third wall (the one opposite the singles) there's a tv, sky, playstation 3 and a jukebox.

Ik001 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Just a bar and optics missing plus of course the ashtray!!
Britmusicsoulfan Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 @Big Gordy, what dimensions are those clear plastic boxes you've got the 45s in? There are lots of great options for storing LPs, but I'd love to see someone come up with a 45 storage system with wheels on it where I could put a whole 150-count box in. Problem is, it'd be pretty heavy.
Biggordy Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 18 litre XL size from the Really Useful Box Company, about £12 each. https://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/uk/html/onlineshop/rub/b18_0litreXL.php

John A Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Yes I have and here it is. Martin Scorsese I am not !!! Yeah,that's all right that,,,do you need a few 45 sleeves? I'm sure I got some knocking around here somewhere
Jordirip Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Here they are Youyou : https://www.blackaacoustics.co.uk/cubes.htm These look brilliant.
Jordirip Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Yes I have and here it is. Martin Scorsese I am not !!! Very nice set up mate. Some lovely tunes in there as well. You do need a few hundred card sleeves though.
Guest The Record Box Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 This is my music room / sky sports footie room at the top of the garden, was a derelict garage 6 months ago,had over 30 people in there one night Looks very cozy, would you mind if I bring Mutley along?
Markw Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I have a small office/study in our flat (I work from home) - 6ft X 12ft. Now fitted out courtesy of Ikea with decent looking shelving units. Don't have a large record collection (though my very patient girlfriend would I am sure disagree!). I have a portable Numark living on the shelves which easily connects to the laptop and converts to mp3/iTunes. Just need a decent play deck and speakers (there is a deck of sorts in the living room) to complete the den properly, then I can come out even less than I do now.
Guest Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Yes I have and here it is. Martin Scorsese I am not !!! Nice record room there the best places to be
Guest Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Here they are Youyou : https://www.blackaacoustics.co.uk/cubes.htm seem very expensive to say there MDF
Spacehopper Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 dining room is our music room too...one of the factors when nicci bought the place two years back...soon as we walked in we both looked at each over and said 'music room!'..in thier most weekends till the early hours...shelves of sevens in the two alcoves floor to ceiling...12s and lps in 6 double storage cubes with decks on top..laminate floor,orange,black and white walls,black and white sofa,orange bean bag and 60s/70s style decor and various music poster on the walls know a dj in bristol with a double garage with decks and about 30 boxes of sevens..pic sleeves and records on all the walls..some from the worst lp covers site funny as f+++...pool table in the middle..beer fridge couple of full workin 60s juke boxes and pin ball machines..78 player...and his other obsessive hoarding of mainly 60s toys all over the place..and a michael jackson doll holding a baby by the foot! dean
Tricky Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Anybody got or tried the I-Cube record storage system. Sited in Kings Lynn apparently. Trev
Guest Andy Kempster Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Yes I have and here it is. Martin Scorsese I am not !!! very nice indeed that would be the dream, mine is far from being that good, tis cozy though, am just sorting the records out although wont take anywhere near as long as it must have taken you
Len Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Hi Andy, There's some great photo's of Record Rooms on this link (mine's in there somewhere) All the best, Len 1

Guest damsko020 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 On the one wall I've got three floor to ceiling bookshelves containing all my singles (well not all, just the soul and reggae), theres a table pushed against the next wall which has my mac and pc on it, then on the third wall (the one opposite the singles) there's a tv, sky, playstation 3 and a jukebox. Now if I had a pool table the room would be complete but if I did, no-one would be able to get in. The pooltable seems like a standard issue for any 'mancave' but i must admit, i hardly ever play. most of the time its more like a junktable..... cleaned it up a bit for the pic.
pikeys dog Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Warning - make sure your floors are strong if having a record room above ground floor.... I moved house, and when all my records were shifted out of the box room, the kitchen ceiling raised back up by about 1/2", creating a big crack all along one wall.
Scotters Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Guessing some of you may have seen this Ikea ad: "Ikea Presents, Harry Love's Records. Make room for your life". It goes on a bit but I do think the finished article looks pretty impressive...Then again, I also think seeing records just all over a house looks just as good!
night nurse Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 my record room is rob smith shop it always cost me to go in it though
night nurse Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 the one at the backs mine i think top shop though Nottingham very own
Back Street Blue Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Have you got your own record room too...? Wish I did.....and the records to go in it! Down-sized to a 2 bedroom ex-council house following divorce and I'm lucky if I can find somewhere to hang my mankeeni when all three kids are staying here. Most of my modest record collection got trashed as part of the domestic upheaval and what I do have is either boxed up in the shed or attic, so I listen to cd's at home mostly. I reckon that if I did have one it would probably look like the picture Barry's posted in his thread "?" 28 March in freebasing Edited April 2, 2013 by back street blue
