: allthough this is no help to your request...
: ...they were in my garage on the floor and unfortunately had a flood and they were all destroyed.
yes, i've been there... half a ton of stuff in a friend's garage, which looked dry as a bone in mid-summer - when i went to collect it a year later later much of the paper and a lot of the cloth was rotten with black mould, partly the result of a flooded floor, and the rest from a leaking roof
could have been worse... i lost labels from some of my vinyl, but after a good wash they still played ok :)
sounds obvious, but... if you're got stuff stored in a garage or shed, make sure it's not in cardboard boxes directly on the floor (use palets) and that it's covered with something waterproof - and check it regularly!
