I'm a big Queen fan, and vinyl record fan.
I have mixed feelings when I see a rare Queen record being sold as a clock.
For example:
www.geekware.ca/queen-record-clocks-p-183.html
has a rare white vinyl 'The Invisible Man' for sale.
What are your thoughs on this? Would you prefer to buy the record as a record or a clock?

if the time on my picturedisc-clock is right....yes!
Take a 1 dollar worth single + a 1 dollar clock mechanism. Sell it for 40, makes 38 dollars profit. Great business!
What do I think?
1 I think 'The Invisible Man' clear vinyl (it's not white!) isn't rare at all.
2 If people would like to make a clock out of whatever record they have: why not? I couldn't care less.

A strange comment from somebody called sexmachine :-)
Well, I'm not sad about it, 'cos I hunt on them. : P
Oh, come on. Wouldn't you cry if you saw a numbered Blue BoRhap disc used as a clock and the owner told you he threw away the Picture sleeve, broke the champaign glasses and gave away the scarf to his mother 30 years ago?

I don't care much about what record it is actually - these clocks are just tremendously ugly....Yuck.[/QUOTE]
Never forget, any industrial vinyl or cd is just a copy of something, that is widely available. For me it's the song that counts, not the medium that carries it. Although I don't mind a good looking medium.
So if they turn a vinyl disc into a clock it may receive more attention than it would have had, if it ended up in the cupboard of some collector.
I would be worried if the original multitrack was cut into pieces and turned into a clock....
BTW...there was recently an exhibition in a german museum, where the floor of one room was covered with vinyl records and the visitors had to walk over them. It was a nightmare becoming real....it felt horrible...

I once tried to play a rare antique clock on my record player....didn't work....
