You can put them on a wall and take them off for use. These are awesome. I don't have them, but I want them I have the regular record frames from Michaels and I find it fits the record a lot better/easier if I take the actual record out and just frame the sleeve. If it has the record in there, it's really pressed together and feels too strained. It also helps because I can still listen to the actual record. I know I'm probably repeating what others are saying, but just thought I'd give my input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Agreed. That looks rad haha. I framed a record that I received warped in the mail: (The record is a bit crooked in the photo) Please tell me you fixed this. My inner OCD freak is crying right now.

ExtraFox Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I've been trying to get a copy of Zaireeka at a low enough price to give to my girlfriend (who's an artist) to do something with. More than just simply frame, but ensuring the vinyl remains playable. If there's anything no-one's going to play, it's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corey. Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Please tell me you fixed this. My inner OCD freak is crying right now. Yeah just used the old photo from a previous thread. Also it isn't AS crooked as it looks haha, the photo is slightly crooked itself as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family Friendly Rap God Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I bought my favourite album twice so I had one to listen to and one to get framed. http://instagram.com/p/l8Oct2pXVz/?modal=true I've never understood people who frame the cover without displaying the record though. Might as well of printed off the record sleeve and kept the actual one in your collection to enjoy. Great taste! I bought both variants. I'm hoping someone presses Dancing with a Ghost!

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I was the one who originally said it to OP. The reasoning behind it is the ring wear issue, and what I mostly think about, the higher possibility of it just...falling off the wall. All I said was that it was safer to keep it stored properly than to frame it. Not that it was unsafe to frame it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raidenradio Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Oh yeah. In most cases I get them signed, frame them, then buy another copy to listen to. Hungrydinoz and gabpower 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travis Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I was thinking of framing a copy of the axe to fall clear with shards when I find it as I'd never play it.. I have one of those! Oh and frame all the records you want, just leave the vinyl in a dust sleeve (inside a poly bag) on your shelf and put the cover in the frame. Then you can listen to the record and it wont get damaged in the frame. bathroommonkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WereAllDudesHey Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 If I were to do it I would definitely do it so that you could see both the LP and the cover. I think it just looks like best. If it's just the sleeve then what's the point? Just get a poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Melt the record and shape it into a frame for the cover otherwise why not just hang a poster in a regular frame. warmhouses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibrittanybutler Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 If I were to do it I would definitely do it so that you could see both the LP and the cover. I think it just looks like best. If it's just the sleeve then what's the point? Just get a poster. Idk. Maybe I'm just weird.. But, framing the record in it's cover doesn't bother me at all. I look at it, and I know the album is in there. And, if anyone asks.. I'll tell them or whatever. It definitely looks lovely when both the cover and the record are displayed, though. But, I was also robbed once before, so I'm paranoid that if I had a rare framed gold record on my wall, ya know.... It'd be stolen, lol. So, I'm all for keeping valuable things ~incognito~ in that case. I just don't particularly mind either way, tbh. As long as you're displaying it how you waaaaant. danionly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Logan Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I cringed so hard. I'm pretty sure I heard a popping noise as I read that. I totally did, I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one. I have no opposition to people framing records even though I probably wouldn't do it. It just makes me cry tears that I can't get my hands on The Family Jewels for under $400 because kids are framing it and playing it on their Crosley's. I want that record and I want to spin in circles in a tutu while I listen to it. I also feel this way about owning AFYCSO on vinyl, so it's basically just a jealousy thing on my end.
