Vinyl Sunday: True Colours – Split Enz

Released 32 years ago, it’s the only album I’ve ever seen with laser-etching:

When it was later released on the A&M label, wild, imaginative shapes and patterns covered the vinyl using a technique known as “laser-etching”. When light hit the record, these designs would protrude and spin about the room. The album was the first to ever use this technique, originally designed to discourage the creation of counterfeit copies.
