For the record

Would you turn a roman coin into a worthless trinket?

Vinyl disks are pieces of heritage no matter what track they contain and though they may not be appreciated by the masses now, they will be museum pieces in the future.

Someone mentioned that this group will not convert "valuable discs" into bowls. The value of a piece of music is personal and emotional and therefore subjective. Even so, some items are generally considered more valuable then others and it pains me that even if all the members of this group were experts on the subject, a few truly rare items are bound to be turned into, what in my opinion are, an unoriginal, ugly piece of tat.

To top it all, I guess the controversy surrounding the subject will make this product more popular - shame

Well done Wayne Flask. You did well to post this ridiculously idea on FB. I'll even share bro. The vinyls you are destroying are an artist's hard work. You are not destroying a photo of the artist you are destroying his work, his value, his creation. Having no respect is not a business proposal its pure vandalism

Well done, these people seem to think that an MP3 has a better quality than what they're eagerly crumpling in their hands. Like saying fast food trumps gourmet dining. Please rescue those vinyls.

An interesting idea (though somewhat not original as I've seen stuff like this before) but a tasteless one nonetheless. It's like taking a pile of leather-bound classic books and turning them into barbecue starters. But anyway to each his own; Not everyone values the same things in the same way. I just feel sorry for the music that was etched onto those vinyl discs that is now lost forever. I still have a lovely classic Garrard turntable and play my opera vinyls on it (including ones with Maria Callas on them) and if someone dared touch these vinyls I would turn him/her into a deformed fruit bowl...

Very good idea for people like me who appreciate their vinyls yet have no intention to invest in equipment to play them. What is the name of this company, please?

Firstly, these are unwanted recods, bought from charity shops or individuals who do not see the value in storing these LPs. Therefore, this company is bringing them back to life in a useful manner and allowing people to appreciate them more rather than storing them away.Obviously we will not process the very valuable collectors items however unless you're going to play them on a gramophone I dont see why you call this 'destroying' the discs.

And therefore to George Cauchi who stated that we are not respecting the artists, I'm afraid you are very wrong as we even promote our brand using various artists and their covers.

Does the girl in the picture know the value of the record that she has destroyed?

Oh you find the exact same thing in Camden, London, thankfully those are not made of real records.

Simply destruction of heritage as these records are or will become in the near future. Why do they have to be so destructive?

No respect to the artists and also in the future those vinyl long-plays and singles will be highly fetched.
