Boston - 1976 Picture Disc




Back in the 70's "Picture Discs" were really popular even though they sounded awful! The vinyl used on these records was not designed for playback purposes and so you could hear all sorts of pops, clicks and hiss.

These 33-1/3 LP's ("Long Playing" Records) were made for their novelty appeal as display items, but of course you just HAD to play them to make sure they were really pressed with the actual album music as it claimed. Sure enough, playing this record yielded Boston's hits from the album like, "More Than A Feeling," "Peace Of Mind," and "Foreplay / Long Time." Side Two looks just like side one, but the songs from that side are the remaining songs from the record.

The original packaging is shown on the second and third image in the series.

Going through some of my old stuff, I found this album again. It still had the original shrink wrapping!

Cool!
