Since there are 1,000’s of 12″ electronic vinyl still coming out every week to record shops a lot of the labels have taken design more seriously to catch the record buyers attention by keeping a consistent layout and font for their stock sleeve jackets that hold the vinyl. I collect alot of these stock sleeves, i thought this would be a good way to post some vinyl versions of songs too and show you some of the record sleeves that don’t make to the people that only buy CDs and MP3’s. These first 2 are Kompakt’s TOTAL series and REKIDS regular stock jacket that usually changes up alot but they keep the same font and usually keep it centered.
UPDATE: One other thing is that a lot of vinyl doesn’t make it to CD unless the musician does an album with the same label and CD’s are pressed or if it gets licensed to a DJ mix CD or podcast.

i love the idea of having multiple versions of the same song. i dont think most people understand that concept though.
I’m obsessed with vinyl packaging…I recall reading/looking at a book not too long ago that just had vinyl album designs in it by various artists, but I can’t recall the name. either way, vinyl is all around the shit and I wish it would come back like it used to be.
damn Koze
