It never ceases to amaze me what kinds of listening experiences one can get with our wonderful vinyl record. In my never ending search to keep you informed, I have this unique little Mini Clubman Vinyl Killer Record Player for you to look at.
Visionaire 53 is a collection of five 12-inch vinyl “picture disc” records that are packaged inside a sleek domed case. While we’re sure that the selection of sound pieces by artists ranging from U2, David Byrne, Michael Stipe, Robert Wilson and Cat Power, among others, are riveting, we’re slightly more interested in the record player provided to listen to them.
The compilation comes with what’s called a Mini Clubman “Vinyl Killer” record player. The portable music maker is battery operated, “driving” along the groves in the record to produce the sound. There’s a tiny speaker built right into the top of the miniature Clubman, and though we can’t imagine the sound is terribly powerful, we can’t help but really want one anyway. Unfortunately, Visionaire 53 runs a steep $250 for one of the 4,000 total copies to be sold. Perhaps not a bad deal for the vinyl record enthusiast that has to have everything, and as a collector, I certainly want one!
