Picked up this Olatunji LP, pretty much only for the cover. it's got a hologram on it of a guy's hands playing percussion! in my little dude experience i've never seen anything like this. any other examples of holograms on either record covers, inserts, gatefolds, or maybe even the record/label itself??

here's a (cellphone) video:

    I have a record called Moving Percussion that has a large holographic image on it. Captain Beyond's s/t lp also has a cool hologram image on it.

    This is being completely anal and nitpicky, but some of those are lenticular images, not holograms. The Prince album is a hologram. That Rolling Stones cover is a lenticular.


    It wasn't an album cover, but I remember "State Of Euphoria" by Anthrax came with a hologram sticker inside. I got that album in 1988 when I was 14 and back then holograms still seemed pretty space-age and futuristic. This scan kinda sucks, but you can't really scan holograms worth crap.

    There is a Johnny Cash lp (one of his religious one) with him stading holding a bible that goes for some $.

    I'm pretty sure the lenticular on the Olatunji Lp is not OG, but was added on later.

    I've had that record at least a hundred times and I don't remember seeing it before.

    Ha ha, I was going to post that, but decided I was being to anal. Lenticular images are fairly cheap to manufacture, used a lot in kids toys etc, so not surprising thy were /are used. They move, generally holograms are static. And more expensive.

    yes. laser etched.

    a dollar bin common in just about every country i have dug in.

    good album though, Kiwi classic.

    the Euroman cover is blue with yellow negative space spelling 'ENZ', the US version is red with green neg. space. Ironically I have no fucking clue what the Kiwi one looks like.


    I copped a feel in 1985 while watching the laser etched vinyl light show dance off Joanne Bosman 's mum's record player onto her ceiling.

    Joanne Bosman was a slut.
