Thatīs absolutely no offense, but:
Why do you buy a record if you dont wanna listen to?
Sure itīs good to have it for your collection, if you were searching for, but if you havent got the song anywhere else, then, for me, listening to the song would be 10x more important than looking at the picture.
And...
Do you think the record will break when listen to? Absolutely nothing will happen if you dont use it as a frisbee(sp?)
God, that must have been a horrible time, before CDīs were invent, you bought a LP listened to it once and then it was broken!

A record is stronger than you think
