Picture discs

Inspired by @DaveMehmet's Thunderfingers (write your own joke here), I wondered if there are any great picture discs owned - or coveted - by Lifers.  

Do you have any great picture discs?  What's your favourite artistic vinyl? And what would you most like to get your hands on?  (Write another joke here).

    Have a few from the 80's, I was into Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Blondie and the Human League.
    Loads of coloured vinyl as well.
    A fantastic era for music.

    Yep....I had a few but mainly the coloured ones......Blue, red & a luminous one. Neon lights by Kraftwork.

    The only non-black vinyl I’ve got is the green John Lennon one

    I have Waterloo by Abba, sung in Swedish.  That's quite rare, normal vinyl though.

    I’ve got a few. Bruce Springsteen’s Cover Me, which is a stand up one that I stupidly displayed in sunlight so has faded.

    I've got Lovely Money by The Damned. Not really keen on picture discs though as I don't believe the sound quality is as good as plain black vinyl. Gate fold covers, that's where the real art was.

    So What! By the Anti-Nowhere League had interesting lyrics.
    I have that with picture sleeve.

    I have the first picture disc issued in the UK. The 1970 issue of Airconditioning by Curved Air.
    The audio quality is appalling.

    Most of mine are at my mums but found these 2. I’ve got a pack of six blue vinyl singles by The Police and a green vinyl of one of their singles as well.

    Recently inherited a Neil Diamond picture disc of Sweet Caroline,  can't get William Hills off the phone, no real idea if it's worth anything other than sentimental.

    Have quite a few. Madness, in particular, always loved a picture disc including a square one for Yesterday’s Men.

    I suppose it didn't get much play, as the stylus fell off every 2 seconds  :)

    I imagine you could get a few quid for these.
