    By far, this song has the best remixed of all the other Madonna tracks.

    True. I have also a SL6, track search doesn't work, what makes it the same as a SL-5 :). Technical the V5 is'nt better but they are rare. Real eyecatcher in the livingroom.

    Agreed. My PS-F9 offers clear view of the picture disc but is a bit more sensitive to dust.
    the „picture disc“ effect is not working with transparent discs :delighted:

    Although a bit more interested in Walkmans and Cassettes, vinyl is cool stuff too…

    After many tests and a long learning curve (and still at the beginning) I can now cut my own Picture Disks.

    Here are my first two attempts. Sorry for my bad musical preference :noway:

    How do you do that. I presume you have some kind of cutting lathe but how do you get the picture in the middle ?

    well spotted, it is in fact a sandwich:
    first, the cut of the A/B side was made with a cutting lathe on two transparent blanks which are both coated with glue on the back. Then two pictures (or a double-side printed picture) are glued between the two blanks.
