Fran Ashcroft – Ashes to Ashes

Ashes to Ashes, by Fran Ashcroft

If you want one last shot at immortality, try this on for size -

Thanks to the creative bods at UK-based And Vinyly, you can get your ashes embedded into vinyl, proving once and for all that records are better than CDs, and British innovation is not dead – even though you are.

The process works just like normal record manufacturing does, except your ashes are sprinkled into the vinyl before it’s actually pressed. For a mere £2000, your favourite tracks or parting message are also included on the disc, and you can even pay extra to get your final recording distributed globally.

Not exactly Valley Of The Kings perhaps, but possibly a more appealing alternative for the megalomaniac producer than having your head cut off and stored in deep freeze.

Major labels take note: This offers a whole new dimension to exploiting your back catalogue.  Imagine for example  – a boutique Collector’s Edition 12″ with an actual bit of yer favourite Heritage Artist baked into the grooves.
