I collect record albums (a little from every music genre from rock to old school singers to exotica to film score and musicals). CDs and music downloads are okay, but they just don’t have that warm sound that you get when you place a needle onto vinyl. Here is part of my color and picture disc collection. Probably my all time favorite color vinyl is from My Fair Lady (a gorgeous lilac).

I had absolutely no idea that most of these came in colored vinyl. What a great collection!

Allee, I have a Jackson 5 colored vinyl and a Marilyn Monroe colored vinyl (made when she was in the movie The River of No Return. Right now they stored in my home in northern CA along with around 3,500 other records.

Beautiful collection! Do you still find color vinyls easily?

Hi MyFunCloset (my fave profile name). It’s easy to find color vinyl on ebay, but the cool ones usually cost a pretty penny.

I still have a few colored vinyl rekkids in the house. Guess i should dig them out. I did go by a record dealers house in SF one time. He was into collecting picture vinyl like the Bowie and Porno For Pyros shown above. I think he had every picture disk available at the time, 1984. It was a quite impressive collection. The problem i’ve found with the colored vinyl is that there is a huge amount of surface noise when played back but they sure do look cool.

WOW, totally awesome collection, Michael!! This makes me missing vinyls even more!
Michael Ely
Yes, BeeJay, I miss the days of vinyl too. Loved the big artwork and the printed lyrics, and as I mentioned above, I think that vinyl sounds better!
