cardiac Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 ..and inevitably point out those suggestions that HAVE been done already so we can go and ogle them. [haven't typed "ogle" in a while!] bonus points if you can come up with a pic disc / jacket combo, ala the Rzl Dzl lp. speaking of inevitable, let's ignore the 'sound quality', 'split seams on pvc', & 'picture discs are lame' issues for the time being. this thread is all about proposing aesthetic ideas. to start with: black vinyl lp that's been beat to hell. grime, tons of scratches, a bored-out center hole, some asshole's name written all over the labels.. basically make it look like that 'VG-' you got eScrewed on that one time.

harryq Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I assume someone's already done a black & white spiral, but if not, that could be fun... preferably a 45 rpm 12" to maximize on the hypnotic-ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 That beat up black LP idea would be cool. Even cooler if you made the sleeve look like a really beat up LP mailer. But thin of course. Have it have the fragile stamp on it and look like it has some dings and stains on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardiac Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 from Wikipedia (yes, there's an entry on Picture Discs): Red Raven released 78 rpm children's records with an animation printed onto the disc. They included a little mirrored device (similar to a praxinoscope) to be placed on the turntable's spindle, reflecting the animation in such a way that while the record plays one gets to see an endlessly repeating animated cartoon. Later, 33¨÷ rpm vinyl records with animation on the labels were also produced. Later picture discs included liquid light show style fluids between the vinyl, Rowlux 3D effect film, defraction rainbow film, metal flake (vide examples here), pressure-sensitive liquid crystals that changed color when the record was picked up, a real holographic record (the first ever), and even a genuine "live album." Made as a demonstration for Stevie Wonder's Journey through the Secret Life of Plants, it featured a layer of blotting paper between the clear vinyl layers that contained alfalfa seeds. A tag of the blotting paper protruded below the record, and resting the disc on a glass of water with the paper in the water allowed the seeds to germinate and grow inside the record. When the prototype was taken through customs in Canada it was seized by the Department of Agriculture, making it not only the only real live album but the only record ever banned by the Department of Agriculture (alfalfa being a prohibited import). Damn, just IMAGINE what Cannabis Corpse could do with that Stevie Wonder technology!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanicus Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The Pizza EP wins all pic disc contests. I'm glad I got a copy of that from the band. It doesn't make it online often. Why a pornogrind act, XXX Manics and the like, hasn't had some form of a dildo pic disc is beyond me. Like a six double ended dildos, or dicks I guess, looking similar to a throwing star of pleasure.
