    Surely I've seen picture discs before, but I honestly don't think so. Very cool collectible!

    Now I'm wondering whatever happened to my Meatloaf (Bat out of Hell) picture disc. I know exactly where my old black-vinyl LPs are, but it's not with them... hmm...

    I would love to find out the value of some of my picture discs! I have 2 in particular... One full record of the Doors (interview) and a set of 4 "45"s of the interviews with each Beatle. Can you help me locate a pricing guide?

    I would love to say I am too young to remember .. . ALL of these when they 1st came out, but, that would be a huge lie! I loved my pictures discs I had a bright red LP of ska music and Fun Boy 3. This is a fab and indeed groovy (sorry couldn't resist) lens. Really, enjoyed it. Thank you

    Great lense! It's been a long, long time since I've heard anyone even mention picture discs. You've really done some great research in compiling this list ~ well done!

    I have a couple of Who and Springsteen picture disk record albums hanging in our game room. After seeing this lens, I'm inspired to search for more!

    I didn't realize these had become collector's items. I have a Bat out of Hell - Meatloaf picture disc hanging up - I absolutely love it and wish I had bought more. Good Lens

    Hi! You have a wonderful and informative sight! It's been a great deal of fun looking around. I have a question and I hope you can help me with it. Several years ago I saw 2 picture discs on Ebay. One depicted a single white rose in a dark background. The other, a pink rose in the same setting. Both records were framed in a soft light and were by the same band. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  • rms Aug 14, 2011 @ 9:38 am | delete
    Wow. I wish I could help. Sounds like a nice decorator piece. Anyone else know?
  • Bill Aug 14, 2011 @ 11:57 am | delete
    Thank you so much for the fast reply! I've been collecting picture discs for about 25 years and look for things that I find attractive or interesting. Animals (not the band), the Beatles, flowers,...just about anything as long as it appeals to me.

    I am looking to see how much a Mercyful Fate picture disc is worth. Can you tell me where I could go to find out?
  • Mattias Mar 17, 2011 @ 12:40 pm | delete
    Hi! Somebody help!! I collect picturediscs but have a problem. many records turn brown over the years.. Is it the light that does this?? Do I need to use uv-safe frames?? Thank you in advance!!
  • rms Mar 17, 2011 @ 5:25 pm | delete
    uv safe frames should work. Keep them away from any smokers too!
  • Mattias Mar 23, 2011 @ 1:53 pm | delete
    Thanks! :) I will do that..
  • Irenemaria Feb 27, 2011 @ 3:40 am | delete
    Amazing that there are so many still around! I feel younger now! Thanks and blessed for this lens!
  • lb1xxxx Jan 29, 2011 @ 12:22 pm | delete
    I have a nice collection of picture discs actually. Started a few years ago when I had an 80s birthday party. I have Culture Club, Eurythmics, Heart, Pat Benatar, Wham!, Cher, Lynda Carter's PORTRAIT album, Laura Branigan's Self Control, Madonna, etc. I even have two 7" pic discs. One of Toni Basil's NOBODY and one of Bonnie Tyler's FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF NIGHT. They are sweet. Does anyone know if they sell round pic disc frames? That would be perfect. I guess I would have to get the regular size ones then.
  • Carmel_Aaron Jan 8, 2011 @ 10:09 am | delete
    I never knew anything about picture Disc's until I read this lens. Evidently I am behind the times, but that isn't unusual.
    I do have some recond albumbs, like soundtracks of favorite musicals, and some Barry Manilow and Elvis Presley, but I no longer have a turntable, so I am just collecting them. Of course they have been played a lot-so they are not in perfect condition.
    Thank you

    Hi, great lens with lots of info. I sell vinyl records on ebay with my partner... I know he has a few picture discs in his collection, but I didn't realise their was such a choice. Thanks for inspiring me, to take a closer look!
  • working4nuts May 2, 2010 @ 1:19 pm | delete
    I love pic discs, if i wanted a record when i first started buying vinyl back in the 80's i would get it on pic disc if possible, or colour vinyl. sadly i don't have many left now, perhaps just a handful.I have just got back into collecting vinyl, perhaps i may get back some of what i had. nice lens. if you like any kind of vinyl check my site www.collector45rpm.com

    Terrific! For the sake of preservation, education is critical. This comprehensive essay on the art and history of Picture Discs provides insight for the person just discovering Picture Discs to collectors with years of experience. Thank you for doing the research and writing an interesting and fun to read article of a niche within a niche, the Picture Disc!

    I gave up collecting picture discs when my record player stopped working, nevertheless I still have them but can't play them (probably the best way to preserve their worth).

    This is another great lens!! I used to have some of these picture disc in the 80's. But one day I decided that it was just too cheesy to keep around and almost gave them away at a garage sale... now I have regret. Oh well

    I have a question about picture disks. My house burned down 2 weeks ago and I'd been given 4 Disney Picture disks last year - never even opened. I have to figure out their value for my insurance. Any idea how I can find out what they'd have been worth?

    Sure can! A picture disc is a 33 rpm record album that has a picture (usually of the group whose music is on the album) embedded into the vinyl.
  • giddygabby Jun 22, 2007 @ 5:55 pm | delete
