I'll be honest, this book would be a lot more appealing if the actual center labels for each record were kept. I'd much rather know which band/label created which record instead of seeing that "pb" logo over and over and over and over....

I like the idea of this - is there any text whatsoever?  Or only pictures?  Something like this could have a lot more lasting value if there were some nice explanations to the process of how colors are mixed, and different techniques are applied in the difference unique processes, not to mention background essays on the progression of the coloring process through time, starting with early 78's, collectors editions during mid-century, the rise of colored vinyl in hardcore in the 90s, etc. etc. etc.

13x13 book. 12x12 scans. Pretty sure these are just pictures that can be found somewhere on these boards pretty easily.
