inside hotel hot trash: platter paks and record totes!

Photobucket


by now y'all know i collect way too many things. one of my greatest loves is old 45 record totes. i can't get enough of them! eventually when josh and i have a place of our own i would like to find a better way to display them, but for now they're housing random 45s and are scattered around the record room. they're a fun thing to collect cuz there are so many variations :)

 there are a bunch on this shelf. two of my favorites are on there, in both red and green versions. i also love old peaches crates, but they're so hard to find anymore.

here's a close-up of the green one, which is one of my favorites!

these two guys are my ultimate favorites! wish i could find more like them. underneath all their fur they are like the round plastic ones pictured above.

i am ALWAYS on the hunt for 45 totes, so if you have any leads it would be much appreciated :)
til next time...

  1. Erin! Awesome scores on the Disco-Go Cases and all of the other record totes. We have a bunch of the same ones! Tony and I are missing the red "Yeah" box--if you turn up another one, we have a few extras of the "psychedelic" 12" Platterpak cases. Also, really cool to see someone else with a couple of Slurps! We love 'em so much, we partly named our blog after 'em!

  2. Great collection! I love records. The crates you have look so long! I can't believe how many 45s you have. Wow!

  3. No wonder I can't find any, you're hoarding them all! I have one that I take with me when I DJ and the records are just crammed in there.
