Scents and Smells
Reminiscent of scratch-and-sniff stickers, these records are created by using a scented varnish that remains dormant until first spun under the needle.
Karen Elson experimented with the method in 2010 with ‘The Ghost Who Walks’, a peach-scented LP produced by her then-husband, vinyl connoisseur Jack White. Elson only pushed out 300 copies, which could only be bought by Vault members of the Third Man Records store.
A novelty play on the scented vinyl arrived when the Ghostbusters theme song was reissued by Legacy Records with a marshmallow scent, paying homage to the film’s iconic character, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
