As A-Trak explains, 'It's the first official Serato picture disk on their Whitelabel.

Picture discs are gramophone (phonograph) records that show images on their playing surface, rather than being of plain black or colored vinyl. Collectors traditionally reserve the term picture disc for records with graphics that extend at least partly into the actual playable grooved area, distinguishing them from picture label discs, which have a specially illustrated and sometimes very large label, and picture back discs, which are illustrated on one unplayable side only.

The first ever Whitelabel. net Picture Disc is here! Check out how rad it looks (yes sir!): They see our pics and they say WHOA. For more details on this very special control vinyl, read on my friend. nik39 2:47 AM - 5 January, 2009. 1000 ever made is not many, congrats on the dopest picture disc in existence though! You guys DEF chose the right artist + pic to release this on. Congrats! feniks 5:53 AM - 5 January, 2009. put me down for a pair if possible. por favor! Psyphris 7:01 AM - 5 January, 2009. Oh yeah, and if it wasn't apparent in my post, I would love one (or two) too

Comb through A-Trak's bio and a portrait of preternatural technical skill, sly business acumen, and uncommon idealism emerges.

A-Trak’s album itself represented a new challenge for the Montreal-born, New-York based DJ who’s list of achievements include DMC World Champion at 15 as well as serving as DJ to Kanye West. While not coming from a running background, the album required some serious thought relative to A-Trak’s usual musical releases which cater more to short-attention span audiences

Unfortunately, A-Trak’s Running Man fails where LCD Soundsystem triumphed. Twelve years Murphy’s junior, the young turntablist’s mix is too hyperactively jittery to achieve and sustain a steady pace. My pain is being accentuated, not alleviated, my focus hindered, not heightened. Every time a drum pattern fades, I’m fooled into thinking that the session is winding down, before the next unwelcome beat kicks in. Having said that, every ten minutes or so A-Trak relaxes into a section of cyclical no-frills instrumental house music. This is when I’m fastest and least distracted. The relatively mellow, silky 80s vibe that surfaces around the half hour mark is agreeably soothing. After enduring several false endings the album/track finally finishes and I yank out my earphones in relief.

Well worth picking up a pair of these of you can find them at a good price. Nice quality thick vinyl and the white label side is a nice touch if your normally into playing promo vinyl’s. Seen these selling for £300+ on ebay lately so look to be going up in value.
