need some opinions on display of a collection

Hi everyone. I collect a lot of different Disney items and they are generally easy to display. However, I have one collection that I really want to display in my house and I am having a hard time figuring out how to do this, so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a bunch of the Disney picture LP's. They have pictures on both the front and the back of the record and the slipcover for the record is cut out to show the pix. However, I only have one of each (don't want to go through the expense of getting two of each) and the pictures are on both sides. My original thought for display was to get custom picture frames for them that I would still be able to take them out and listen to them (and would still like the option to listen to them later).

If I use picture frames I can only display one side at a time. Please give suggestions.

By the way, I do not want to hang them from the ceiling so they rotate around because of the sunlight in the middle of the room.

Thanks everyone.

I highly doubt you will be able to see both sides at once unless you hang it from your celing.

An elaborate solution would be to mount them upright between acrylic braces on a slowly rotating wheel inside of an acrylic case. I have some laserdiscs and that's the idea I came up with, although I haven't actually done it yet.

^^ that's a good idea, or you could just put it in a stand-up glass case on a table or something, so you could see different sides depending on where you were in the room.

Thank you for the suggestions. The acrylic cases and even just displaying them on a table are good ideas. Now all i have to do is find something that will display both sides (for a reasonable cost:))
