First playable jigsaw vinyl

In September 2016, UK newcomers Sugar Coat released a 7-inch version of "Me Instead" as a playable jigsaw, showing a crowded supermarket scene. It was one of a set of 35 designs released by the London-based trio to mark the release of their debut single; other one-off pressings included mirror and faux-fur designs, and another disc was sprinkled with coal dust from South Yorkshire's Orgreave mines, in tribute to those involved in the "Battle of Orgreave" riots on 18 June 1984.

The vinyl set was available on the band's website for between £12 and £150. Each piece was sold with a free CD of "Me Instead", in case the buyer wanted to keep the vinyl version in mint condition.

The jigsaw and the 34 other discs were the brainchild of Cameron Allen from Finland's Royal Mint Records.

Guitarist Billy Brentford Reeves told the NME: "Crudely speaking, it's essentially a hand-made picture disc. Music must have plenty of magic and mystery, so we're keen that our early singles are very difficult to get hold of."

True to Reeves' word, Sugar Coat's second single, "Just a Man", was limited to just eight copies on 8-inch vinyl.

Sugar Coat are Sugar Quinn (vocals), multi-instrumentalist Pylon King and Billy Brentford Reeves, formerly a member of Theaudience with Sophie Ellis-Bextor. They are reported to have met in A&E at a hospital in Lewisham.
