This is a collage of images on a 12" vinyl record with a glossy finish. There is no smudging, it’s just the lighting. All vinyls will be packaged with bubble wrap & a vinyl cover to prevent damage. The label in the center of the vinyl may vary because each piece is custom made. If you would like this vinyl to have different images or a different color scheme, please do not hesitate to contact me! Florence Pugh Vinyl Collage
