structural advice on these record shelves

The redeeming aspect of your design is that it is narrow and the shelves are not likely to sag.

If there is a problem, it is where it is most likely with the bottom shelf. The bottom shelf is carrying the full load and it is being suspended above the casters. The easiest adjustment is to add a 1X1 or 1X2 on edge along the front and rear edges of the bottom shelf. You may want to mount the casters on plywood blocks that are glued to the bottom shelf.

In the future as much glue as possible. MDF is notorious for not holding fasteners. Be wary of moving the cabinet by the sides!
