We've had some incredible albums released this year so far, with more excellent releases just around the corner. While the calibre of music is all pretty impressive, we've also had feasts for the eyes as well as the ears with some utterly beautiful releases on vinyl. Here are 16 of the coolest, most stunning ones. 

If you're fond of leopard print and grunge then the Brody Dalle vinyl is the one for you, or if you're after a little 'blood-splattered reptile' chic then we'd advise picking up the Jurassic Park soundtrack. Then there's the blood-red beauty of Warpaint, the crystal clear wonder of Chet Faker, the 'Magic' of Coldplay or some bloody heavy and awesome box sets from Suede, Mogwai and Jack White. 

Putting the needle on these is always a pleasure. Get them in your record cabinet now.
