My wife and I both own vinyl, and neither of us has ever owned a record player. We put them on display for the most part. We have a song we got married to, and we bought a couple of album variations (each with different artwork) with that song; we also like the cover art on some vinyl releases as wall art.
- onion2k 10mo agoI'm curious - does the music content actually matter to you? Would you buy an album from an artist you've never heard just because the cover art was great?
- bkanuka 10mo agoNot who you're replying to (but I'm in the same camp). I use the album art as decoration, but the music is the first selection criteria. The music has to mean something to me first, and then the album art just needs to "pass". I have young kids also, so I try to stay away from violent or scary album art.
- microtherion 10mo agoIf you use the records as a display (and though I don't do that, I empathize; CD covers just don't generate the visceral reaction that LP covers do), wouldn't it make sense for publishers to offer record covers without the actual records?
