From a galaxy far, far away comes the holographic Star Wars vinyl record

Few pieces of music are as instantly recognisable as the Star Wars theme tune, and now you can watch the vinyl record as well as listen to it.

In a galaxy far, far away (or Los Angeles to be more precise) a fine art holographer has devised a technique for being able to put holograms on records, and after making his holographic debut on an album for Jack Black, Tristan Duke has now turned his attention to Star Wars.

Mr Duke felt that it would be fitting to create an image of a spacecraft which appears to hover four inches above the surface of the record, after Disney Music approached him and enquired about a hologram for a Star Wars vinyl.

The record was unveiled by stormtroopers at London's Abbey Road Studios.
