Box of Vision-for the anal retentive music fan

Hey music fans, have you ever wished you could store, organize and display all your Bob Dylan and Beatles records in a beautiful linen covered, table top slip case? Me neither.

Well, a company called “Box Of Vision” is out to change your mind. Officially licensed by the artists, they manufacture high end storage containers, complete with LP sized cover art and additional photos.

So far, Box Of Vision has The Beatles, Lennon and Dylan in their growing stable of um…boxes. The most recent Dylan one sells for …wait for it…. ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY DOLLARS! FOR A BOX WITH NO RECORDS IN IT!

The pigeon, I mean the consumer provides the records. The box enables you to proudly display your complete CD collections of the artist. To who , I don’t know. If I was stupid enough to waste my money on this, I’d be so ashamed I’d hide it in the attic.

I would provide the link just to prove that this does exist but honestly, I don’t feel like it would be a good idea to promote this craziness.

Their website says that they are always looking for new ideas for artists that we, the fans are deserving of the Box Of Vision “treatment”. A couple of suggestions come to mind.

Flying Lizards-yeah, it would be one real small box, but instead of being linen covered, you could manufacture it with scales.


Chumbawumba-just a big metal tub that you throw the CD into.

Modern English-Make the box out of chocolate and charge extra for the heat lamp.

Adam Ant-you open the box and all these feathers fly out.

Village People-here you could have 5 separate boxes for each member. A lunch pail for the construction worker, a bribery envelope for the policeman, a fire hydrant for the…you get the idea.

Blondie- A heart shaped box made of glass. You can use the same box for Nirvana and cut down on manufacturing costs.

Ramones-instead of using fine linen, go with ripped blue jean material. It would also unzip on the side.

New York Dolls-a purse, what else? One of those weird boxy ones your grandmother had.

Flock Of Seagulls- gold plated bird cage and a pair of sneakers.

B-52’s – a lobster trap-optional clambake edition comes with potatoes. Idaho’s, of course.

Steely Dan- a dildo, batteries not included. The CD’s “come” out of the tip, er ..top.
