Carved Vinyl Records Display Images

[Wigwam Jones]

Interesting, but I didn't think this was new. I have a Styx album that has an image on the vinyl itself (I believe applied via laser) and it plays fine. Anyone else?

Even though there area plenty of companies making use of vinyl records for innovative design ideas, most of them make the records unplayable. That was until Japanese designer Shinsuke Yamaji, created a way to carve custom graphics into a vinyl record while still allowing it to be played.

The designer has created the Cutting Autora Factory Plate – a device that can create custom graphics on the surface of a vinyl, without damaging the spiral grooves that make music playing possible.
