   Really beautiful result. Congrats! Also a painful reminder that in all my Warhol cover obsessiveness, I have never bought the Velvet Underground MCMCXIII 4LP’s. It’s gonna cost me…

      Is there an emoji for jaw-dropping surprise? And one for embarrassment too? I’d never connected the blue 1993 cover with AW because it was after his death. So did the artist actually make this variant, Guy?

         No he did not. But of course his banana, forever linked to the VU, was re-used and pimped to silver. That’s how far the obsession takes me, I’m afraid… Did buy the cd’s, but missed the vinyl version. I do, on the other hand, have in my collection a Japanese 12″ laserdisk of the concert – that I can not play – that has exactly the same cover art. Maybe that’s close enough, I will check.

            2014, this coloured vinyl reissue. There seem to be a few out there.

               Thanks, Bruce! I see coffee & vinyl has a mint copy. That shop is a 5 minutes walk from home. Will soon be mine!

   So pretty. It reminds me of the James Bond paperbacks I collected as a kid, just lovely to gaze upon the alternating, complementary colors and think…gosh, I consumed all that! Thanks for this splendid journey Bruce, really something.

   Enjoyed this idea. Couple things came to mind. Some of the colored vinyl I’ve accidently accumulated (Stranglers marble ) and Ken Nordine’s ‘Colors’ album. That’s all I’ve got today.

      Cool. Nordine, eh? Now I’m thinking about collecting some photos of people’s fave coloured records for some kind of ‘Rainbows across the world’ post. I think I need to get out more.

         You know Ken? If not I think he might be up your alley. Just obscure enough for VC.
         Thats just the way your brain works. Dont fight it.

               Check out his album ‘Word Jazz’ Give it a couple cuts. Acquired taste but once you get it it stays.
