Vinyl Rips

This is Volta, Björk’s 6th studio album, released in 2007 by One Little Indian. The packaging for this LP is incredible… or annoying if you actually want to open it. The figure on the front is actually a sticker which is meant to be removed so you can open up the flaps to get to the inside. Upon opening their LPs for the first time, some fans found that the sticker rips easily, or loses it’s stickiness after a while and will no longer hold the flaps shut. An alternative way to open the box is to unfold the flaps at the top and slide the contents out (as pictured below). While this method keeps the sticker intact, it is still annoying to do and it can wrinkle the box. Anyway, what’s inside this mystery box? This record has been out for just over a year so most Björk fans already know, but in case you’re new, 5 “Russian Doll” style folders, each with a different flame letter pic, house 2 180 gram heavyweight LPs. The packaging as definitely beautiful and original, although annoying to deal with. At least the music on the inside is worth the trouble.
