(A quote from another thread transplanted to here).

OK, I didn't completely know what you were talking about here
'cause I don't have email notifications on for PMs.

Anti-records that I have, that are flat, are mixed in randomly with regular stock
which is also randomly mixed together, so if I come across it, I'll let you know.
I have quite a few that need to be stored separately from "regular" albums.
They're more like art objects: a glue record or something encased in plates of
steel or wrapped in macrogrit sandpaper or cassettes wrapped in vinyl or
something else that doesn't make it flat or desirable to have next to another
album (such as the one covered in moss that should arrive any day now).

Not sure if it counts as an anti-record, but don't you have that one Christian Marclay vinyl project that allows the listener to manipulate the grooves or something like that?

Yeah, "Record Without a Cover." I bought at least two copies directly from him in Chicago around '86.
One clean copy and another copy that I scratched up by walking down Clark St. while mostly rubbing it
up against the sides of buildings (there were occasional "rubbings" on sidewalks as well).
Then, I would play it in-store for customers. When it wasn't "in use," it would be mounted on the wall
as a clock with numbers stuck on it. I remember a guy named Clay Grossman who insisted that he find
something to wrap the album in. He was so paranoid that he was going to ruin it.
