Who here has got ALL the picture discs? (including Mexican Purple Rain, Symbol, Parade, Batman LP and all the singles, shaped and otherwise?) Who's got the whole set?

I have all the UK ones, The one US one and only one of the Mexican ones.

Whats the one 4th on the top row?

There was 2 differnt picture discs for "Kiss". One from 1986 that played at 45 RPM and had the short versions of "Kiss" and "Love or $". The re-issue from 1988 had the long versions of the songs and played at 33RPM. The one you asked about is the 1986 issue, the second one is the 1988 issue.They both had the same picture.

What do you mean do they work, you never seen vinyl picture discs before?

djdaffy1227 said:

I have them all too by the way plus the PR mexican and some uncut PDs and boot PDs. The Lovesexy PD is very nice not not official.

SomewhereHereOnEarth said:

They play just like any other vinyl record. Although, more often than not with picture discs and colored vinyl, sound quality is sub-par, due to the varying quality of the vinyl. They are marketed as limited-run collectibles and show pieces, so are rarely used in comparison to their plain black counterparts.

yeah got most of them apart from Black Sweat,86 Kiss with plinth,Girls and Boys (which looks awesome btw)and is that the Parade album?or Lovesexy but that isnt official.
I have the mexican PR and Symbol album too.How much is the mexican PR worth these days? I think I paid £45 for it about 5 yrs ago

I have a couple of Kiss PDs. Kiss 86, Kiss with Plinth and Kiss Uncut PD.

Mexican PR these days is worth about 100 Euros if it includes the printed PVC cover..

Do you have Mountains 10" white vinyl?

funkylust said:

Yeah have the PVC cover for PR but its not in great condition.I am storing it in another sleeve to try and save it now but I fear the damage is done.
I don't have Mountains 10" wish I did though.
Your uncut Kiss is a very nice item to own

muirdo said:

definitely I know they are common and not that valuable but my pic discs bring me the most pleasure. I used to love seeing them up on the wall Ina rarity wrecka stow back in the day. Nowadays with the Internet and eBay anybody can get anything. Back when I started collecting it was searching high and low, mail orders and talking to dealers face to face.

Y'all gon' make me run 2 da wreckastow! Stop it!!!

funkylust said:

I wouldn't call it a picture disc, it's just colored vinyl but here is the 10" white "Mountains":


BTW, I'd love to find the Mexican "Purple rain".

Oh, and here is a better look at the "Girls and boys" disc:

I think that's one of my favourites.It looks very retro ish in keeping with the whole UTCM vibe.
The last time I was offered it I didn't want to part with £60 I dread to think how much it would cost now

muirdo said:

Girls and Boys is worth about 75 Euros these days.. I agree its very cool looking PD.

Nice.
