What ever happened to all the DIY framing places? There used to be dozens of 
them around Toronto, including a chain "The Frame-Up" where I took one of those 
coloured vinyl Elvis repros back in the early 80s. All gone now.

The frame has clear glass on each side (I think it's actually plastic) so you can see both sides of the record, and glued a small vinyl button in the middle which the record rests on. The surface of neither side touches the glass, only the part of the center hole that rests on the button. The record can actually rotate within the frame, proving there is no pressure at all on the surfaces.
