I broke a few already by stacking to many high! On a side note, 78's are cheap and plentiful :) Aw man :( sorry to hear about your records crashing on the floor!

Unfortunately the box they were in broke while moving and they fell down a concrete stairwell and exploded. So be careful with them, they're thick, but they're very brittle. I still miss "Oh Carol."

I really love the "record art" on the red one. What is interesting is the combination of different typefaces and the gritty gritty look. I bet in a few years, these will be interesting American or Canadian artifacts, I can't tell, of popular culture. Oh, so that’s why you were scanning these records last night.
