Moving vinyl cross-country in summer heat

Congrats and good luck with the move, Clifford. My LP collection went over the Atlantic and back in a container ship so you shouldn't have too many problems. I ended up boxing them in substantial cardboard boxes and also utilising some old record cases that I had. For high value/rare items you might want to consider transferring them separately 'in person'. I think that's what I would do.

Sounds like you'll be near the Academy Records Williamsburg Annex with your move - and consequently able to spend an absolute fortune on rare and wonderful stuff before the rest of us punters get a sniff. Lucky you !

Part of me wishes I was doing the same but the majority of me is glad I'm not moving anymore. Well at least not until they put the tag on my toe and give me my last ride on a gurney.

I hear you on that one !

Most of us here will need two gurneys. One for ourselves and one for the Mosaics..

The Williamsburg Annex is usually pretty picked over in my experience; I think the Village one has better records, but what I'm curious about is the Record Grouch. Apparently one of the better record stores in New York, and I'd not heard of it until recently.

Certainly relates to my experience. I found a $10 Grachan Moncur 'Evolution' NY pressing at that Village store.
