Wow, this is wonderful. How large are they actually? The article says miniature but, surely, a vinyl record would weigh a substantial amount even at a tiny size.
The designs on these are really intricate as well, I know that vinyl lovers tend to say that the addition of pictures hurts sound quality but in this particular case, a novelty set, I feel like it's more than justified.
- Someone 7y agoI haven’t seen them, but I expect them to be similar to the records they used to give away as marketing gimmicks: so thin that they weren’t rigid under their own weight. You could roll them up. If you decrease their diameter, weight would go down even further. Edit: these are called Flexi Disc (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexi_disc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexi_disc). you can even make records out of plastic-coated carton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardboard_record https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardboard_record

- BelleOfTheBall 7y agoOh, that's downright tiny. I can see how that could fit easily on a regular package.
