Hologram 12' discs. They didn't really take off did they?

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

What was the point of them? I understand picture discs.

Only vaguely related, I recently got Robert Plant's Band of Joy on vinyl - sign of the times as it was obvioulsy recorded with CD length in mind as the vinyl is on three sides. Really nice etching on side 4 - not quite a hologram though!

Thanks. I got a 12'' of 'Fighting for the earth' by Warrior. (awful) It was purchased 2nd hand. Looked ok(clear with space image)
I just didn't know how to display it

Why don't you smash up the vinyl? All the broken pieces will then have the complete image in all the little bits. Make some shape ( getting a bit Blue Peter here) and frame it, put a light in front of it so you can see it better and then think "Why did I bother?".

Mine took off, but I had to throw quite hard…

The one and only time i ever brought a Styx record was because of the lazer etching. Lovely to look at, not so to listen to lol

Yep, thats the one. Actually its not that bad, i can listen to it now, but back then i wasn't really in to that tripe of music.
I also had True Colours by Split Enz album, for the same reason.

Back then i used to like buying this sort of thing, and it did help get me in to music i might not have bothered with.

What's the point? - record collectors paying for multiple copies of the same music.

Picture discs don't sound as good as black vinyl and are designed to be looked at rather than listened too.

I think I bought Iron Maiden's Bring your daughter to the slaughter picture disc before I had a turntable, because I liked the artwork. Live and learn, don't you?

[size=4] Yes, no wonder they didn't take off - you couldn't get the player into the house.[/size]
[size=4]Edit: Or indeed the discs, of course.[/size]

Yeah they kind of disappeared, I remember Kerrang building them up to be the next big thing and then slagging them off when they started getting recognition.
