On our travels we have managed to pick up a couple of picture frames which are custom made to frame your favourite LP (yep, LP) covers and hang them on the wall. Naturally, these LP covers get rotated from time to time just to change the scenery and not to be charged with some sort of bias or neglect. Currently the two that hang in our home office right now are……

Changing the covers is often a delight, and a stress, since there are so many great covers that have made their way into the world and we should share our adulation around. Here are some of my favourite covers which have made it to date;- a great one from the old days.

Hmmm are LP players n discs still avl in the markets. They were hugely popular in India, that was well before I was born though, now it’s more of a collectors item. Now it’s all about iPod 😀
There are some vinyl shops around but they are specialised now, I would say. I have to admit that my music is slowly being sucked into my iPod too.
Love the Gene Clark LP cover. What a good idea to have frames for LP covers. I got rid of my LP’s long ago, but for those who still have them, this would be such a great way to enjoy the art, as well as the music.
I agree. Some of the covers were/are great works of art. The idea of framing them is such a simple and great one, too. However, oddly enough, I have scoured the UK for these frames to no avail – we bought them in San Francisco – should have bought more !!
Very cool! I need some of those for The Hook’s lair.
They’re great – wish I had more !
I love this post! So great. I collect antiques…..but my kids wouldn’t know what these big round plastic things are. 🙂
Thanks Kari. Those big round plastic things are antiques too, aren’t they?! 🙂
how inspiring!
Thanks, Munira.
This post has inspired me to go look through my Dad’s collection of old LP’s…who knows what I might find!
Some of the old covers, even the cheesy ones, can be great pics for the Office or Study, and neat talking points too.
