    I found this cool place, can make you a custom picture disk with any 5 mins of audio on it.
    http://vinylart.co/

    Decided to try it out.
    Ordered a disk over a month ago, finally got it today. Package was stamped "Mis-sent to Uganda"
    Not sure how the send it to Uganda instead of USA...
    Anyway, its here.
    First thing, you have to place the needle in the actual song. There is no lead up groove. Just a space for it. Try to put it in that space, and the needle falls off the record onto the platter... not good.
    Also, it skips more than a normal record would with a slight touch of the turntable.
    And, it doesn't sound too good either, very harsh highs.
    But, I didn't buy it for playing, I bought it for looks. If you want a cool looks piece, this is it.
    Only one sided, back is just flat white vinyl.

    Looking more, it appears to be cut out of clear material (not good quality, and thin), with a sticker thing on the back with the picture on it. So not like a picture disk, more like a clear disk with a picture behind it. Still cool. Still sounds bad, and try to break my needle.

    I think it is a good concept, they will probably be able to improve it as well.

    EDIT:

    SO I visited the link you posted @spwath and I could put my own original songs on vinyl and they could put my album artwork on it?
