Oh. Fair enough.
I was confused 'cause ItLoGaP was being discussed on the page before.

Alright, silly question time. I've never owned a vinyl in my life, and before I was born my parents got rid of all their vinyls as they aren't too interested in music. Now, there has been a kangaroo (kanguru) staring at me from my computer screen and the CD can't be found anywhere here, but the vinyl can, easily. I don't have a turntable, but is it worth anyway to get that vinyl, and perhaps others, just for the artwork? And how are vinyls, apart from the obvious size, more impressive than CD booklets?

I don't know, I've never bought vinyl because I can't play or afford them.

They sound different when played but many people prefer the sound of a vinyl. Vinyl are usually only worth purchasing now if you desire good artwork and maybe if you the original vinyl is a gatefold and maybe even has a pull-out booklet/poster.
All my vinyl are basic ones and aren't gatefolds.

What exactly do you mean with "basic ones"?

A lot of vinyls just have a front cover and a back cover. The record is stored in a plain white sleeve that is inserted into the cover.

Front Cover
Rare cover.
If I remember correctly there was some sort of insert where the people in the window would change as you slid the insert in and out. I don't remember for sure though, as it was a friend of mine who had this album.

Aaw... I expected something more than just that. As that specific Kanguru vinyl was released in 2009 according to the site, I suppose I'm not going to buy it just for the artwork then. Thanks for the info, guys.

Just normal vinyl sleeves. The most minimal ones. The sleeve don't even have a fold (hence the term gateford). The vinyl just slides in.  That's a gatefold. And what is it with people?

That is indeed true. My father has Physical Graffiti on vinyl.
