How about CDs?

I've got one that is like a CD3 with extra clear plastic to make it a CD5. By that, I mean it's a CD5, but the "metal" part where the data is, is only in the middle and not on the edges.

Sounds like the Pet Shop Boys "It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas".

There's a Mental As Anything 45 that's exactly like that, I intend to own it soon.

One of the weirdest records I own is "Fish Heads, Fish Heads" by Barnes & Barnes and vinyl is pressed in the shape of a Fish (Smoked Cod). Other interesting records I own are:
"Lets Learn Morse Code" (1960's LP)
"They're Coming To Take Me Away Ahhh!" by Napoleon Boneparte XIV (The B-side is the same song but recorded BACKWARDS).
"Indigeons Songs of the Tasmanian Aborigine" (The Tasmanian Aborigine has been extinct for nearly 150 years)
"Two Minutes Of Silence" by Reg Owen (It's exactly as it says: Two full minutes of golden silence but hey, it was the mid '60's)

Any others around? Love to hear from some of you.

I have a checkpoint charlie 12" that plays from the inner lable out and a psychedelic Furs 45 that has a playable sleeve.

That sounds interesting, although it defeats the purpose of a sleeve [:)]. You need a sleeve for the sleeve!

Martha and the Muffins: the 'Saigon' 7" single - the B side is double-grooved with two versions of the B side track, 'Copacabana' - you never know which one will play, the regular version or the backwards version!

I don't own it, and am not selling it, but there is a clear vinyl 7" of Freur's "Doot Doot" on ebay right now:

I believe the seller is Record Peddler, one of Toronto's best known (former brick and mortar) vinyl merchants.

I asked them that ( I've bought a number of items from them)...they say no, but then again, maybe they owe people money or something.

And yes Schwenko, I'm watching it at this point.
