I have mixed feelings about it for that reason. Obviously I love LPs and I love looking at them, but putting them in frames does seem to fetishise them as objects rather than as vehicles for music. Feels a bit like Ramones t-shirts in Top Shop.

Was going to ask where people buy music art prints from and you provided the answer!

Pretty much exclusively album art there though. My feeling is you could get the high res image, print it professionally and put it in a frame for less than they’ll do it for (especially once factoring in P&P)

Yeah not planning to buy the print, though it is my birthday this month so feel free to club together

If it’s a proper great cover that works well as a piece of art in itself and is lovely to look at, like that Dirty Three one then good idea. Any album with bog standard artwork hung up just cos you like the album - not for me Clive, but can see the appeal.

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.

I’ve got this which has some lovely posters that can be removed and framed (not that I’ve got around to doing this!)

Buy another one and you’ve got the worlds of Sonic Youth and The Two Ronnies covered.

Re: the OP, I badly wanted this LCD poster but apparently it was sold out in minutes at the show and I contacted the designer and he had no more :frowning:

Belle and Sebastian 2006 European Tour. It’s got Stuart contemplating, Richard fishing, Beans playing with a butterfly and Stevie Jackson thinking up ways he can pitifully clone Elvis Costello B-Sides… Great print. It’s on my wall.

I like the colour of your wall, definitely in my top 5.

That’s really nice. I guess you could just keep checking eBay to see if one comes up.

Right, as I love art and music, can’t limit myself to one. Here are some more.

This was from a gig in Sheffield. It looks good, and also I took my Dad, who’s been lonely since my mum died so it was quite an important night for me as well.

I don’t like CSNY but this is a stunning print IMO. It’s gold colourshines.
