Oh I agree. It’s about the art work for me not showing that I like the LP. Though it’s also about putting some of my personality on the walls, and music and certain records are a huge part of my life. The thought process with the vinyl frames was, if I already have the LP why pay for the artwork or, alternatively, I might as well spend the money I would spend on the print on the LP and just hang that up.
Ultimately, think I’m going to buy a nice poster-sized print to do the job in hand. Still in two minds about the album artwork/vinyl thing, understand why it can be a bit naff, but also see positives to it.
