I don't collect a lot of Vinyl, but I really dig the art work on some picture discs. Anyone have a fav they'd like to share? Here is mine.

You've got Thane to the Throne by Jag Panzer.. that's a great album. Most people have never heard of it !

Wow I didn't know these shaped cds existed!
How do you play them? Are they the same size as standard ones (how do they spin and not get stuck?)?

They're vinyl records B-Master !!

yeah Bogdan, u're party right , these are shaped vinyl records, but there're also shaped cds..many Metal bands are making shaped cd's... for example i had this Manowar shaped single but for some reason it wouldn play on cd player, but in computer Nein!







Btw look at this guy's manowar collection, he has 34 different editions of just one album !!

Oh I see!

Do you need a special gramophone for that with extra "turning space" ?

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Nov 13 2012, 01:54 PM

Special gramphon Nichts!! They don';t use any additonal "turning space" cos they fit same size as regular record...
But for listening i would prefer regular records, cos picture disc have some plastic surface protection over it, and they not sound as good as regular ones... they\'re more collector items

I didn't know that, that's interesting !

Awesome pics guys!! Those years were amazing for Artworks... nowadays seems that the key are the websites and other internet designs...

WOW! This is an AMAZING Collection Man!! I've got to say well done! Picture discs are a lost art and I"m always thrilled to see a fine collection. Very rare. As COSMIN noted, bands have all but given up on physical media for obvious reasons, so these things are getting more collectible by the minute!
