record geek Be Gentle, I'm a newbie: 1 posts	Posted: 10 Mar 10, 16:38 I'm a big Queen fan, and vinyl record fan.� I have mixed feelings when I see a rare Queen record being sold as a clock. For example: www.geekware.ca/queen-record-clocks-p-183.html has a rare white vinyl 'The Invisible Man' for sale. What are your thoughs on this? Would you prefer to buy the record as a record or a clock?

Soundfreak Bohemian: 378 posts	Posted: 12 Mar 10, 07:46 Never forget, any industrial vinyl or cd is just a copy of something, that is widely available. For me it's the song that counts, not the medium that carries it. Although I don't mind a good looking medium. So if they turn a vinyl disc into a clock it may receive more attention than it would have had, if it ended up in the cupboard of some collector. I would be worried if the original multitrack was cut into pieces and turned into a clock.... BTW...there was recently an exhibition in a german museum, where the floor of one room was covered with vinyl records and the visitors had to walk over them. It was a nightmare becoming real....it felt horrible...
