New lot isn't 4ft high.........about 3ft though and thats enough and at the minute they're still inside the front door where they were left:mad:

Mary, does your OH ever listen to his prized collection of LPs.
Could you suggest getting one of those gizmos that puts LPs onto discs, then you could flog the vinyl and let him play his Cds.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no: 203.0 -

whatatwit - actually he does drag them out once or twice a week and listen to them. Something nostalic about the old albums he says and funnily enough my son is much the same, though he does put a lot of stuff on mini-disc now. Still hangs on to the album for the cover and details.Mary
