I've just received a very nice thing for my birthday, a collection of 12 7" singles by NOFX on coloured vinyl,

And when you turn the singles over they form a picture:

What I'm after is something I can easily hang on my wall that will display this back picture, but still have easy access to the discs should I wish to play 'em.
Any ideas?
You could make individual squares with perspex front hardboard back and picture frame edge.
Get them out to use would be a pain.
I'd be tempted to buy them on black vinyl to play and have these as art.

They look nice, but I'm sort of looking for something with no frame to it so the singles are as close to each other as possible so that the picture doesn't look fragmented.
Unfortunately buying other copies is not really an option, it is a pretty rare collection, and only a few of them were released on black vinyl (except for the one on the top right of the picture which only comes in black) and those are also expensive and limited
The sort of thing I'm after is clear plastic display pockets, nothing too fancy, but sturdy enough to take the weight of 12 singles. I'm not sure if anything like it exists.
If it's not exactly 3 x 4, that's fine, I have plenty of other NOFX singles that could slot around it.
Have seen similar to what your saying displaying singles in record shops in the 70s and 80s.
Not sure if you can still get them/what they would look like.
Think i would get frame from ikea or pic framing shop and put the sleeves in it,then put the singles in new cardboard covers stored elsewhere.
