View Full Version : Picture Discs (record albums)
Iluvthe80s 7-16-01, 02:17 AM I don't know if this had been covered or not but who had picture discs? These were record albums, 45's, or 12" singles with pictures on them instead of a standard black record. These are the ones I have:
Duran Duran 12" of The Reflex
Pat Benatar 12" of Shadows of the Night
Kiss's album Smashes, Thrashes and Hits (which one side has them in makeup and the other side without)
Pat Benatar's Get Nervous album
I used to have Bon Jovi's New Jersey album but my ex ended up with it
ImSoooSure 7-16-01, 05:44 AM I have atleast one I will be reunited with real soon here. It's been at my moms house. I know on the back it had Come Up And See Me Make Me Smile from Duran Duran...on the front was...I really can't remember.It might be the same one as "The Reflex" one you have! I'll find out soon! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Polethebear 7-16-01, 08:08 AM Don't laugh but i had some star wars records that were like that,33's and 45's.
wavemaster 7-16-01, 04:53 PM Never searched for picture discs, as they were known to reproduce a slightly minor sound quality (as this was counting on the $300 stereo I owned back then <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> ) and also were said to wear out faster.
Heck, I wanted to listen to those discs, not to hang Žem on the wall... <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
I own some plain- or multicoloured discs, manufactured by Intercord Germany (most of them Depeche Mode...for those who wondered <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> ).
Star Wars is cool.....I mean...all I have is one with E.T. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> Loved that little guy though! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

I got one of Led Zeppelin! <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> One side is an interview with Plant and the other side is one with Page.
This is off subject(sorry luv) We were talking about Shrinky Dinks yesterday at work. Who remembers them?? LOL
xistenza 8-03-01, 01:14 AM I was never too big on picture discs, but I do have 2 of them, by the same band, coincidentally.
Bauhaus - Burning from the Inside
Bauhaus - Interview Picture Disc
I have one, but I can't remember the name of the band. I do remember that one side has a picture of a guy holding a guitar and the other side has a nudie picture of a couple of women! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">
Oh Yeah! Gotta love naked women! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
Darkside 9-27-01, 12:34 AM I have a Ozzy Osbourne Mr. Crowley Live EP that is a picture disc.
I have Pat Benetar's "Get Nervous" on picture disk. It's really cool. She's in the strait jacket on both sides. I think it's just like the album cover, but I'm not sure because after I got the picture disk, I didn't buy the album. My boyfriend bought this for me on my 16th birthday. :D

Just doin' a lil' stalking, heh, heh... My sweet, would you like to Ride My 12" Lighting?? LOL! :D
djdaffy1227 12-06-01, 05:47 PM I see Trixter collects Madonna the way I collect Prince. I would love to have a copy of the picture disc for Like a prayer because of the Madonna/Prince duet "Love song". I also forgot that I have a few bootleg picture disc interviews with Prince.

Better watch you back Gman! I got me a Cyber Sis to help out! LOL! Maybe I'll just watch your back for you. ;)
Silly girls. I was talking about the LP Ride the Lighting. What were you thinking or talking about?! :D
RetroMan 12-21-01, 01:19 PM being the HUGE Iron Maiden fan that I am, One of my most highly prized items is an immaculate pressing of the Aces High vinyl picture disc - on the reverse side it has a few rare tracks like Sheriff Of H'field etc. and there is a picture of a German 'Fokker' fighter plane being shot down (it ties in with the classic picture on the A side with Eddie in the Spitfire cockpit)it's a fantastic design and concept - the plane is spinning in a circuar motion around the grassy fields with a trail of smoke- you stick it on your turn-table and it looks like the plane circling around in a spiral fasion towards the ground. it is seriously the coolest thing you've ever 'seen' on a record player

OH MY GOD! I am SO robbing your house if I'm ever in Texas!! If you see a red-headed mod chic climbing through your window, that would be me. :eek: :eek:
That 80z Girl 2-18-02, 07:38 PM I HAD the picture disk of "Our lips are sealed" w/ "We got the Beat" on the "B" side, but it unfortunately got SOLD along w/ my other 45's when I stored them at a friends house when I lived out of state for awhile and her brother decided to sell all of the 45's in the house... including mine!! (Can you sense I still harbor a bit of anger regarding this matter?)
