All Things Vinyl

[Jack the Stripper]

I have a shit ton of picture disc’s but have no room to display them. I’d also like to display some album covers like Vyn but can’t for the same reason. I’ve got signed drumheads I display in the jam room though.

@Charger as much as you don’t really associate skulls with Dio, I like the skull side of that picture disc much better.

I totally agree! I was just thinking about displaying the B-side if I ever get this on the wall. Those skulls are actually very cool looking.


@Vyn
Those are very cool...have you done the frames yourself or just bought them somewhere?

I'm thinking about making some sort of a frame that would allow 4 or 5 discs...maybe make the cover out of a thin plexiglass...

^ I've seen frames like that for displaying records, should be a common item for collectors.

[Vyn]

Yep, bought them - they have plexiglass fronts, the frames are metal. A couple dollars each from Amazon, if I recall correctly.

[Charger]

Well my second DIO picture Disc arrived today...this is from the 2021 RSD...and I have to say this is much better looking than the previous one! I really like the art on this!

[Vyn]

Ok, no picture yet, simply because there's so many it'd look like a pile, but I have a few new LPs:

Three that I bought from Goldmine Records:
---------------------------------------------

Tropical Fuck Storm - Deep States

Midnight Oil - Midnight Oil

Midnight Oil - Head Injuries



Eight that I received from Polyvinyl due to past purchases accumulating "points", so I told them to just send me eight random records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sonny & The Sunsets - Moods Baby Moods

Anna Burch - If You're Dreaming

Diane Coffee - With People

Good Morning - The Option

The Superweaks - Bad Year

Shannon Moser - Oh, My Heart

Cherry - Dumbness

Cartalk - Pass Like Pollen



One from Larian Studios by way of a coworker, it's a double LP soundtrack for a video game.

Borislav Slavov - Divinity Original Sin 2

[Zzzptm]

Divinity Original Sin 2 is a great game, I love going back to it over and over.

[Vyn]

That soundtrack is pretty cool. Colored vinyl, and the sleeve is very well done. It also comes with an eight page booklet of piano sheet music for what it calls "the main theme". I haven't listened to it yet.

[Charger]

I can proudly say Vyn I haven't heard any of them!

[Vyn]

Hahaha! For the most part, me either. Although the one's from Goldmine I have. Polyvinyl always has a broad range of indie type music. Some of it I hate, but have found some real gems before.

The game is also very strong. I don't have good reflexes or clicking ability, so I like its turn-based combat so that I can get the mouse where I want it before clicking. Great dialogue, rich story lines for the origin characters, lots of little things one can still discover after a few years and find new in the game. Makes me ready to jump into Larian's next release, Baldur's Gate 3.

Double Yellow vinyl of The Life And Times Of Scrooge McDuck by Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen just arrived today!

Sadly bit damaged by the post office though...

[Vyn]

I like that less-opaque yellow more than the solid yellow I see a lot.

I have a perverse hatred of shipping damage. Seems it wasn't too bad, as the set you posted looks good.

[Charger]

Luckily I just got a message back from the record store and they have agreed to send me a new copy! Just have to send this one back!

[Charger]

New Anthrax Limited Picture Disc of In The End / The Devil You Know # 284/666 arrived today!

It's pretty cool!
