Default Store vinyl vertical? horizontal?

Horizontal storage is bad because it will make them warp unless the pressure
across them is VERY even.

I suspect vertical is correct, but I don't know why.


It is.

Any good references?


Library of Congress good enough? http://www.loc.gov/preserv/care/record.html
There's actually an AES standard for disc storage but I don't know the number
offhand.
