Every vinyl collector will tell you that a big part of the vinyl experience is the album cover, front and back. The outer sleeve helps to paint the images that flash through your mind as you listen. You can often get a better sense of the artist and music just by glancing at the artwork that adorns the sleeve. From a simple band shot to a mysterious and intriguing photo, the artist tries to convey a feeling through the album cover. If you’re lucky, the record comes with a gatefold sleeve that opens up to reveal even more art and photos. Truly magical!

VINYL STYL™ GROOVE PORTABLE 3 SPEED TURNTABLE (CHERRY BLOSSOM)

January 14, 2016January 14, 2016 Steve Schnee

We here at Vinyl Styl™ take great pride in our designs – we don’t choose them randomly. For instance, a lot of thought went into our popular Cherry Blossom design.

Wikipedia says: “In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize clouds due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, an aspect of Japanese cultural tradition that is often associated with Buddhist influence, and which is embodied in the concept of mono no aware (‘an empathy toward things’, or ‘a sensitivity to ephemera’). The transience of the blossoms, the exquisite beauty and volatility, has often been associated with mortality and graceful and readily acceptance of destiny and karma; for this reason, cherry blossoms are richly symbolic, and have been utilized often in Japanese art, manga, anime, and film, as well as at musical performances for ambient effect.”

So, next time you want to spin some records, become one with Vinyl Styl™!
