New! In the late 1970s, the standard black vinyl disc mutated and developed into a thousand different forms, as picture discs and oddly shaped recordings entered the market. Ranging from blatant commercial gimmicks to limited edition collector's items via weird anomolies and art projects, this is the ultimate selection of Extraordinary Records. |
