being a designer, it's understandable that i'd be quite a visual creature. i find myself trying to buy things that are visually intriguing but not for the actual reason the products/things were intended for. hence my continuing battle with vintage vinyl.
these were snaps i took from two different record stores in chicago within two days and these were just a few of the ones i had to stop myself from buying...since i just wanted them for the cover. sure these records might be good but seriously, i don't need another liza minnelli record - i already memorized all the cabaret songs so that is more than enough liza for me. these other ladies might be fabulous but i have begun to google their music first if i really find something i want to get so i don't get burned again...
allow me to explain: i bought a record a couple of moths ago solely for the imagery and novelty. it was a soundtrack of a movie called the boyfriend that twiggy was in! the costumes and set design on the cover were amazing so i was like alright, worth a shot because i will kick my own ass if i don't get this and it gets snatched up. i brought it home to play and it was TERRIBLE.
so now i have been practicing some restraint. and in that same spirit, thought i'd share some of these fabulous records with you and see if you have suffered from the same ailment ever?
