Note: Picture discs consist of a solid core that has a paper image placed over it. The core and photo are then covered with clear vinyl and the grooves are pressed on top of them using traditional record presses. The manufacturing process uses less vinyl in the grooves than standard records, and often yields less-than-optimal sound quality. Most picture discs are produced as limited edition products, generally targeted at collectors.
