This isn't an idle query: I live in San Francisco,
have two 6-foot high
shelves stacked with records, and I'm guessing that
in a major quake they
could easily topple. Not sure what the solution is
- bolting them to the
wall, maybe, but God knows how I'd manage that.
Well Philip
I guess that it occurs that walls collapse... Unfortunately, back in
1996, an enormous gas explosion destroyed the building I was inhabiting.
It was more like being bombed and the walls collapsed, I lost around 4
000 records outta 8 / 9000... not mentioning all my books, fanzines,
souvenirs... I managed to save some and ironed and glued back tons of
vinyl covers.
The one which suffered less were protected by a plastic cover.
