View Full Version : Displaying Vinyls

I have a signed vinyl I got from one of my favorite bands and I would like to get this framed and mounted. The thing is, the Vinyl itself is what I would like to display. Each band member signed one side of a vinyl, so 4 signatures. I realize 2 will always be hidden, but is there a way to have the vinyl sleeve opened and then the 2 vinyls placed on each side for display? Has anyone done something like this? It would essentially be twice as big as one of my other ones:

Here are what they will look like:

I have a ton of memoribilia from shows and after show events I have attended over the years, so collecting this stuff is kind of a hobby of mine. I love music very much, so making this look really professional is my #1 concern here.

Thans in advance for your help. I have done a lot of searches, and I came up empty. I know I can just go to a framing store for this, BUT I don't really want to ruin the integrity of the vinyl if having it pressed up against glass is going to be an issue.

You must of missed the picture disk craze that occured towards the end of the vinyl realm! I have one left that I'll put on the FM in a week or so.

I do already have a copy of the unsigned version to play on the ole turntable.

I still need to know if it's safe to have vinyl on the glass.

I suggest you try some place like Bags Unlimited, who carries abum display cases (http://www.bagsunlimited.com/cart/browse.asp?subcat=507).

You could "mat" the edge of it like they do photos to keep them from touching the glass. With the right thickness of mat, the label would "float" inside the frame also.
