rhythmgtr5 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to play a record that has silk screening directly on it; if so, does it affect the sound or hurt the needle? Here's a picture of what i'm talking about (clear record with silkscreen on top) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timpopkid Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I would think that's a 1 sided record no? Looks like they silk screened the bottom so you could see the picture while playing it. The Rocket From The Crypt Tattoo 7" is like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 They don't screen the grooves...they screen the b-side which is left blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest afsdan Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 yeah, don't play the inked side. your needle will never forgive you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I have an Anathallo record like that. DO NOT PLAY THE SCREENED SIDE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdoom Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 You can totally play the screened side! It's actually better than any Bronx song ever recorded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetrakis Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 lol, yeah you can play picture discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanargyle Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 That'd be fucked up and hilarious if, for example, that bonus 7" that came with the new The Measure (SA) LP with the screened b-side had some sort of totally unreleased song under the screening.

minty Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 lol, yeah you can play picture discs. No-one asked about picture discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlovecolouredx Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 i don't have any silkscreened vinyl. but i remember the rarest pmfs : knife in marathon is screened vinyl. and i'm not sure it's stencil or silkscreen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melikecheese Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I have a one sided silk screened LP, you do not play the silk screened side. What you have shown us a picture of looks like a picture disc. I can see grooves over the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
