One of your Canadian neighbors, Kev Lee formerly of Bum, came home from
a rehearsal once to find his apartment building in flames... huge punk
singles and live tapes collection gone. I have heard a few other fire or
flood horror stories. Right before I moved to Montana, I was woken up
one morning by an earthquake. My record shelves were bouncing off the
wall. I jumped up, and leaned against them for a moment...I then went
out side, to see waves splashing out of the swimming pool. Jud Cost said
when he got home after the 1989 Quake, there was about three feet of
vinyl piled on his office floor. I think he only had one or two records
broken.
It's fire that scares me, or the basement flooding. I've got everything
up off the floor. I know it just an inch of water would run hundreds of
records if I didn't have everything on pallets.
Hard drives...will die sooner or later.

For the better part of 50 years the ONLY conversation about storing one's music collection dealt with how many shelves you needed (and where). In the last 5 years we not only concern ourselves with storing our music, but the fear of LOSING it.
