This photo, by Hiroko Masuik, is of Jean Shin's "Sound Wave," a sculpture made of melted records. It's on display at 'Second Lives' at the Museum of Arts and Design. More info and another of Masuik's shots of it are at an article covering the exhibit at the New York Times

I'm sure most of these were unusable anyways. I remember hearing from a record store guy that about 70% of stuff that comes into his shop is just pure junk.

I love the post title. I just bought a 5 foot by 3.5 foot poster of that printing. It's epic

The definition of "pure junk" might be different for a record store clerk versus the average consumer.

Apparently this happens in video stores with VHS too:
