The Beatles "Abbey Road" Picture Disc
This is one of many from my own personal collection of Picture Discs.
I retired after 30 years as a Mobile DJ and am now selling off my collection that has hung on my office walls for years.
I Personally purchased all my Picture discs in Stores, on E-Bay, Flea Markets or Swap Meets.
I have never played any of them on a record player as to not lower the value of the disc.
As soon as I purchased them they were framed and hung upon my walls.

SHIPPING:
I ship all albums in a U.S.P.S. "Priority Mail" carton for faster and safer delivery. (See Photo above)
Many times the shipping rate by E-bay is off when compared to the Post Office.
Normally shipping costs $7 to $15 depending on your location.
If E-bay has estimated enough shipping costs to you I will "insure" your shipment.
I do add a $2.00 shipping and handling fee to each sale to help cover insurance costs when applicable.
I do not ship out of the continental U.S. I have lost too much cash with incorrect shipping costs estimated by E-bay
I typically ship on Monday morning if you use Pay-pal over the weekend.
What are "Picture Discs" ?
Picture Discs were designed to be "collectible" and not necessarily played like regular albums.
Producers of Picture Discs claim the music quality levels are not as good as typical albums.
Some Discs were made by placing an actual photo under the vinyl coating. (better sound quality)
Some are made by "Injecting" color into the Vinyl. (poorer sound quality)
The artwork is normally a copy of the original artwork on the regular vinyl album covers. Some are not.
Most are the typical round albums but some "die cut" specialty shaped records were also made.
To ensure the value of this or any Picture Disc I would suggest never playing them.
Record needles can scrap away the thin clear coating used to create the grooves of the album.
Picture Discs started as early as the late 1920's then became very popular as a "promotion" in the late 70's & 80's.
Because they were used as a "Promotional Product" by the record company's some albums had limited production. Collectors hang onto their Picture Discs thus making some albums "Rare & Hard or Find" and very costly.
Starting again in the mid 2000's some reissues of classics and new albums cover art started to be produced.
