what's the exact name of this bag? i've always wanted one but not known the exact model no.

re: checkin in.

this is what i do and after so many ball aches @ check in and lost baggage, i swear it's the best thing to do. just before you check in (ie when you're taking your records out of the boot of your car from your bulky silver record box/or big bag), pretend you're playing your set. start from the beginning and do this for 15 records. this is an hours records and these are the records that will definitely go on the plane. if you loose your main bulk of records, you will have these records and at least you will be able to play an hour (most promoters will be fine with this if you looose your records - they'll just be thankful that you're there with some records!!!).

stick your set of 15 records in your carry on record bag at the front, then place the other's next to them. if you get away with them all great, but so many times you get asked to weigh your carry on bags these days. aplogise and say you'll put some stuff in your suitcase. so keep your 15 records and the rest, stick in your suitcase sandwiched in between your clothes. this is actually really kewl, as the baggage handlers don't know there are records inside and you don't get your whole box nicked either (like so many of my silver boxes). Plus customs don't sniff too much at baggage claim ;)

hope this helps. this is by far the best solution in my eyes, but would love to hear other ideas
