Someone please make a vinyl that has a little race track in the grooves that you can let a toy car whiz around on while the record plays. “To be honest, it’s only because we couldn’t make the vinyl an actual matchbox car that you can play on your record player.” Holy shit. “Why did we make it shaped like the car?” he asks himself. The person responsible for the design of the vinyl, as well as its art work, is Charles Blanchard. Would it even work? Would the needle fail to adapt to the disc’s rigid shape? I’m enjoying the suspense of not knowing the answer to that (I presume it will).Ĭaptures the energy of the game soundtracks during that era The most entertainment I’ve got out of this idea is to imagine placing the car-shaped disc in a record player and letting it spin. A pixelly car with a lime-green bonnet and a tinted, dusk-red windscreen. It’s not a circle shape as you’d typically expect of a vinyl disc. I know I’m repeating myself here but this is what it took for me to get my head around it. Yes, we’re talking about a vinyl that’s shaped like a race car. You can see the vinyl and its cover pictured above. But then I saw it and I realized the full implication of what he had originally told me. It’s to be a “shaped picture disc 7″ that’s the shape of one of the race cars from the game,” he said to me eagerly.
When Patrick McDermott of LA-based label Ghost Ramp first told me that two tracks from Drift Stage‘s soundtrack would be available on a car-shaped vinyl I didn’t fully grasp the idea.
