What did DJ Hal Jackson mean by 'pack the shellac'?

In: Idioms and Slang, Word and Phrase Origins, Rhyming Words

There are two basic meanings for "shellac." One is the varnish used to coat wood, as in a wood floor - perhaps he meant for everyone to crowd onto the dance floor. Another meaning is an old vinyl record, so he might have meant to ask for lots of requests so that he could pile lots of records on top of each other.
