"Always There For You"
(shaped picture disc)
catalog #: ENVS 1

   

The featured collectible this time around is the "Always There For You" 7 inch shaped picture disc! This great collectible was available in Europe and was also offered in America via the Enigma mail-order, in which they attached a separate flyer to the regular catalog promoting it. The great thing about this piece is that not only is it a picture disc, but it's actually shaped like the Stryper logo... which makes it the only shaped Stryper record!

Due to it's shape, over time this record has a habit of slightly "curling" on the edges if not stored properly. To prevent it from losing it's flat shape, store the vinyl standing up and pressed between other records or objects.

For die-hard collectors who have to have everything, you may be able to find this record uncut and in it's original round shape. After the vinyl was pressed, it was then die-cut in the shape of the logo. But some uncut copies have made it out into the collectors market. I've only heard of two collectors who claim them, so this will be quite a rare one to find. Happy hunting!
