Got a signed Elvis album? Maybe you have the famous 1966 Beatles album, Revolver, that started the backmasking movement. Instead of stashing your vinyl away in the corner of the attic, display them! Here are some of the best album frames to keep your records in good shape while also giving you a way to show them off.
Smashed Banana Black Music Album Frame
Display your piece proudly
The brushed aluminum frame by Smashed Banana offers a beautiful way to protect and display your favorite albums. It has a plexiglass front that won’t scratch too easily and interfere with the display of your record while the black finish of the frame looks classic and unobtrusive to your album. Hanging hardware is already attached to this preassembled frame when you get it, so it is ready to hang straight out of the box.
Creative Picture Frames Jukebox Record Frame
Show the album and the record
This album frame includes a sleek black mat to pull together the final piece. It is designed to hold both the album cover and a vinyl separately rather than together for a great conversation piece. With the mat, this Creative Picture Frames will hold a 12.5 x 12.5-inch record. But you can remove the matt and display a 15 x 15-inch record. Your album can be displayed either in portrait (verticle) or in landscape (horizontal) in this frame
MCS Aluminum Album Frame Gallery Pack
Create a collage
This value pack comes with six black album frames. These will hold covers that are 12.5 inches by 12.5 inches and features a clear back as well as a front so you can show off both sides. The frames are made from aluminum and are finished in a dusted black color that doesn’t detract from the beauty of your record. It isn’t recommended to use these frames to display records without their album covers.
KAIU Wood Vinyl Record Frame
Easy to hang and use
The KAIU wooden frame is hinged so you can place your frame where you want it, and ensure it is even, before adding your valuable collectible item. The hinged design also makes it easy to swap out albums you want to display. This solid wood frame comes fully assembled and will hold most standard albums. It has clear acrylic inserted to offer protection to your album while allowing guests to ooh and ahh at your treasure.
CollectorMount Shelf Stand Album Frame
A unique display
These aren't your standard frames. They are album stands that you slip your album into to create the illusion that they are floating on your wall. The shelf stand is adjustable to hold any size album, including really thick ones. It is made from clear plastic so unless you are looking really close you can’t see it holding up your record. There isn’t any protective glass as in traditional frames, so your album won’t be protected against water or dust.
Album frames: A sound investment
Why you can trust Real Homes
Show off your greatest record in a Smashed Banana black music album frame. This aluminum frame holds a standard album and will keep dust and moisture away with the included plexiglass. If you’re displaying more than one album at a time, look at the MCS gallery pack. It comes with six frames and features a clear front and back to show off both sides of your albums.
