Just seen this reposted by Sparks on Twitter (it shall forever remain Twitter):

https://x.com/BadWorldmusic/status/1910016131189944803

Part of me thinks 'wowwwwww!' (heart) ... the other part thinks 'how can that liquid stay in the vinyl over time ... what about my carpets...' (head)

It does look really cool but at £45 it's a big ask.
Never seen a record like that before but I can't help think it would probably evaporate after a few months. I'll think on it but I'm 50/50 at the moment.

Is it the record equivalent of a lava lamp?
I imagine it would be soothing to watch (or maddening depending on your mindset)

Other vinyl releases might have used this concept
Hippopotamus with pool water and tiny hippos in it
TGICIHL with coffee, milk and tears
However this concept on Tryouts For The Human Race might not be appropriate 🤣
