A gallery of the most unusual and innovative album releases of all time. These have all been chosen because there is something unique about their form, format, packaging or concept. They range from the well-known to the downright obscure.
Don't mistake this for yet another 'Greatest Albums' blog, though: the music probably isn't the most important thing here.
The museum is open to contributions so please contact me if you want to nominate and write an entry.

Sometimes, like the Durutti Column’s ‘The Return of the Durutti Column’ (which you can read about here), you can wear your abrasion on the outside of your sleeve to destroy the inferior music around you.
But with 'Sandin’ yr Vagina’ the abrasion is everywhere with emery board wrapping the cassette and sand filling it. Then, in a perfect meeting or sound and packaging, there is the abrasive music, described as 'metal, glass and wood noise with unrelenting harsh noise walls of junk-metal and disturbing silence’.
You can listen to a excerpt from the tape here, but you may want to make sure you have some rash cream to hand.
