CD/Vinyl Record Hybrid


Techno artist Jeff Mills produced this CD / 5″ vinyl single for “The Occurrence.” One side of the disc is a normal CD, the other side plays on a normal analogue turntable. – PSFK via boingboing

I checked out the manufacturer, Optimal Media Production, and apparently they’ve been making these things for the past few years and offer other weird things like scented discs. Too bad this didn’t happen 20 years ago though.

  1. I wonder if there’s an adapter for it so that you can play it on the turntable without the big CD hole.

    I’m feelin’ it.

  2. i bet they’re like 6 bucks each to produce, but theyre still awesome. my buddy had this idea back in 2003. he also had all the ideas for star trek too
