33 Times People Merged With Album Covers and Created Magic

Let's take a moment to appreciate one of the weirdest, most delightful things the internet has ever done with vinyl records - sleeveface (I can't help but hear "Taserface!" from the guardians of the galaxy). The concept is deceptively simple: take an old album cover, line it up with your face or body, and snap a photo that creates the illusion that you are now the star of that dusty LP.

The result? Instant chaos. But make it stylish.

Some of these are scarily accurate. Some are hilariously unhinged. All of them are pure retro gold, mixing music nostalgia with just enough optical illusion to make your brain short-circuit for a second.

It's cosplay for your face. It's analog-era face-swapping. It's what happens when bored people with record collections and way too much creative energy decide to turn vinyl into performance art.

Whether you're into Bowie, Beethoven, or that one album your parents won't shut up about, sleeveface is your chance to become a legend—at least from the neck up.

So here are 33 of our favorite sleeveface creations that will have you digging through your attic for that one Billy Joel record just to try it yourself.
