Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. . . .

Don't let this stop you from seeing the beauty of Europe and other places!

Dude! That picture looks like a giant fruitcake with a Fantasy label in the middle. Perfect for the holidays!

I have red, blue, and green Fantasy vinyl, but this one tops them all! Does it have this cover?

[clifford_thornton]

True art records... my girlfriend bought me the book recently, pretty fascinating stuff.

It looks diseased.

@ mikeweil, yes exactly

[sonnymax]

Cool-lookin' piece of vinyl Chewy. Imagine if you had a turntable with a clear glass platter with a light beneath it.

That record reminds me of this one below. I bought when it first came out and still have it to this day.

Really nice sonnymax.

I have a translucent red Cal Tjader LP. These are great though.

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

you just compaed Cal Tjader Quintet & "Alone Together"?

[mikeweil]

Red vinyl was used most often by Fantasy, e.g.:

But: here's another pressing of the same ten-incher made from blue vinyl:

dude mine is cooler than both of those, mine is like beautiful italian stained glass window!

[JSngry]

I have a green Brubeck Fantasy 10".

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

is it like beautiful stained glass window?

[Big Beat Steve]

Having only heard of (and seen) "monochrome" red, blue - and even green - Fantasy vinyls myself, I am beginning to wonder if Chewy's item maybe is some sort of pressing plant glitch (where they threw the colors from different pots together)??

I'd rather have a beautiful stained glass window.

[Stefan Wood]

It could be exactly that. Similar to old fountain pens, where "End of Days" pens were those with multi colored plastics, a result of the manufacturer blending the colors all at once to use up the remaining stock for the day.

[Jim R]

I've had 10" and 12" in about every color (but never saw the "stained glass window" type that chewy scored). Here's another one I'd never seen before... (until today, on a blog)...

Looks like a hallucination of some kind.

Something happened at the old plant that day. No one can recall exactly what. But Geno the maintenance guy ran off with the boss's secretary and they ended up in a chapel in Vegas, last anyone heard. Mr. Korbishly from accounting ran home laughing hysterically and naked after lunch. It took two hours to get Ms. Zelinski out from under her desk, everyone taking turns coaxing her and smoking cigarettes. And the Kinsley brothers just kept pouring can after can of colored paint into the old vinyl machine.

The next day, no one said a word.

I've got that bad boy out in the garage. I should probably find it and bring it indoors.

Those wild colored discs were hip for a while in the early 70's. German CBS released two samplers of Psychedelia and Jazz Rock, one was this:

This was the other one:

I have a Grateful Dead bootleg (on TMQ) that has multicolored vinyl.
