Elaborately Packaged Music (1 Viewer)

[therealjohnny]

I got this recently...it's pretty elaborate but it fits with the others and there's not much risk of destroying it any time I want to listen to the record

Gatefold sleeves and inserts are A-OK with me

I loved this.

Unfortunately the factory where it was made was basically a mequilladora and many of the workers developed cancer.

Hope of the states had one of those for a single cover, i bought it when i was younger. Unfortunately the effect wears out after a while.

It's sometimes hard to believe,but coloured vinyl and gatefold sleeves used to not cost extra.

I don't have that on(it's not very good though so I'm not bothered) I do have this though

Yeah Massive Attack one is in bits now, I left it on a mates dashboard in the sun and basically killed it, but it still looks cool though.

the most interesting one i've come across recently (though i don't have a copy) is the durutti column's debut, whose cover is made out of sandpaper - the idea being it will destroy the other records in your collection.

I have it on CD.

I never got the sandpaper destruction doom.

Surely it will only affect the records stored on either side of it?

I have the Feederz sandpaper cover,it's in the heaviest plastic sleeve I could find.

Once they're destroyed it'll start on the next ones and so on until it has destroyed all your books.

Look it's 'art', not a practical application.

didn't the steam pig release some tins of beans?
no music, just a tin of beans with a Steam Pig label glued on
i've never laid eyes on these cultural artefacts, it might have just been a joke made during an interview

@GARYXKNIFEDX ?
