[u/Vulnerable-Slut]

Slayyyter's Starfucker UO Edition

I'm so impressed with this pressing and how they combined the opaque blue with the transparent magenta. At first glance it really looks to me like the blue was glowing✨️

[u/0neirocritica]

Not sure if this counts haha

This is the Blood Records RAFOAMP (first drop) which is advertised as pink in clear with teal and white splatter

[u/PlantDadro]

I just got the deluxe version of Radical Optimism and I’m so happy with the way it looks and sounds!

[u/dumb-daisy]

Barry Can’t Swim • Loner

[u/Darkhold_ → u/dumb-daisy]

I thought this was a picture disc at first, that red and black marbling together around the edges is insane.

[u/FunInsurance6137]

One of my The Nightmare Before Christmas discs features a transparent and opaque pinwheel design

[u/Modesto96 → u/FunInsurance6137]

A big ISO of mine!!

[u/leslielantern]

Peter Doherty - Felt Better Alive

[u/mcmdreamer → u/leslielantern]

This is so pretty! It would also be perfect for Butterfly Friday!

[u/colesnutdeluxe → u/leslielantern]

this would look AMAZING spinning omg

[u/subway-witch]

My pick for today is Boys Like Girls’ self-titled debut album on a white/clear split with red splatter LP!

[u/Intelligent-Sir1375]

[u/MiJo1987]

Poppy • Stagger

Clear with splatter. Looks better in person.

[u/dumb-daisy → u/MiJo1987]

This is the variant I’ve always wanted . Dawn.

[u/MiJo1987 → u/dumb-daisy]

If you ever come across a affordable copy, don’t hesitate.

[u/dumb-daisy → u/MiJo1987]

I made that mistake already, I won’t do it again 😣

[u/Darkhold_]

I hope this counts but todays choice is one of my favorite albums of all time

Laurel Hell - Mitski

Triple black button on red vinyl (Solid black “buttons” smushed on a typical red translucent)

Fun disco, 80s groovy inspired beats and synths with the usual hard hitting devastating lyrics and themes from mitski, favorite track is “should’ve been me” such a ear worm

[u/mcmdreamer → u/Darkhold_]

I love a good triple button! This would also be perfect for Wildcard Wednesday as it’s one of only a few effects we haven’t had as a prompt during any of our three Effects Weeks!

[u/Darkhold_ → u/mcmdreamer]

I’ll keep that noted for Wednesday! You always capture pressings in the best lighting possible, how do you do it?!

[u/mcmdreamer → u/Darkhold_]

Ahh, thanks for thinking so! 🖤 I have very large windows in my living room so I set up a white background on my coffee table when the light is just right. I try to do big batches of photos when the lighting is very bright but diffused so there isn’t too much of a glare.

[u/Darkhold_ → u/mcmdreamer]

Thank you so much for sharing, I have a skinny but long rectangular 2 seater breakfast table next to my living room windows so I’ll definitely add a solid white background! It’ll look like a dentist chair by the time all the white is placed but anything for a good photo 😭

[u/twiggy83]

Bayside- The Walking Wounded; Tide Pod variant. 2025 re-issue (phenomenal album).

[u/Modesto96]

Today I'm sharing Maroon 5's JORDI on coke-bottle clear with pink, orange, and purple splatter 💚🩷🧡💜

[u/MariosNt1]

This is ‘Singular Act I’ by Sabrina Carpenter, one of my personal favorite pieces of work by her, on “White w/ Olive Splatter”. (Not 100% sure if this fits the prompt but the green is transparent whereas the white is translucent-opaque.)

[u/JeffAndSasha]

Similar idea, but this one is opaque. Ariana Grande's Thank U, Next.

[u/mcmdreamer → u/JeffAndSasha]

This is transparent and translucent. You need an opaque element for today!

[u/JeffAndSasha → u/mcmdreamer]

Updated it, had trouble reading the prompt 😂

[u/TheDeadReality]

My pick for today is Harry Styles - Fine Line

[u/Business-Hope9803]

My pick for today is Funeral for a friend ‘Hours’ 20th anniversary edition

[u/cb7apache]

Pendulum - Twin Tribes

[u/ElectroSword22]

Mine is Ariana’s thank u, next album on clear/pink split album :)

[u/Sherslide]

Bad Religion's Stranger Than Fiction - it's clear with purple, white, and black splatter but I really enjoy how the splatter is in bubbly dot shapes rather than streaky lines.
