Blue Ice - Shout Out Loud

Swedish band Shout Out Loud really know how to invent a novelty and from the start this record is just dripping with excitement.

Rather than buying a record you bought a DIY kit consisting of a silicon mold, a bottle of distilled water and a set of instructions. But if successful, you could create the bands single, Blue Ice, on a thick block of playable ice!

Due to ice's tendency to melt you could only get one, very crude, play out of the record and only 10 kits were ever created in the first place making the single extremely rare. But due to peoples overwhelming curiosity to create the record, it is likely that there are in fact no complete kits left.

The other downside to this novelty was the risk that playing the record could potentially damage your record player. Chances are that the needle would be destroyed from the coarse ice and, as the ice melted, water could find it's way inside the player blowing the electrics.

Worth the risk? What do you think?
