Vinyl Vision 3000

Vinyl Vision 3000 combines reference-quality sound, meticulously handcrafted packaging, and innovative manufacturing technology to create a total work of art.

DopeYeah! Records, the label of the Prague music club Doupě, launched the Vinyl Vision 3000 project during the COVID-19 pandemic. All Vinyl Vision 3000 editions share an immensely elaborate production process—from completely analog recording to hand-bound books and a unique hologram on the record. These vinyl collector’s items, exclusive in every respect, are distributed worldwide exclusively by clearaudio.

Vinyl Vision 3000 is a project by the Prague music club Doupě and establishes an entirely new category of collector’s items: vinyl as a total work of art. These works of art enrich a space both acoustically and visually.

Vinyl Vision 3000 uniquely combines three worlds: reference-level analog playback, high artistic standards, and technology that drastically expands the boundaries of vinyl production. This includes a hologram on the record’s surface that reacts to light, without having any negative impact on playback quality.

The Idea and the People Behind Vinyl Vision 3000

The project got its start at the exclusive Prague music club Doupě during the COVID-19 pandemic. Musicians couldn’t play together, let alone perform in front of an audience. On the initiative of club founder Petr Chmela, artists from around the world began sharing recordings with one another. Isolation gave way to connection, and the result was the unique rock album *Isolation (333)*, featuring rock legends Ian Paice, Glenn Hughes, Don Preston, and Robbie McIntosh, among many others.

This laid the foundation for a new kind of vinyl recording: a clear commitment to sound, expression, art, craftsmanship, and enduring values.

Or as Petr Chmela puts it:

“My projects aren’t meant to simply produce yet another object or product; rather, they are meant to be something extraordinary—created with dedication, high standards, and respect for the people who feel music deeply.”

Intro

The Three Pillars of Vinyl Vision 3000

Content

1. Sound

 

Vinyl Vision 3000 was developed as a reference material for high-end audio systems. This includes a precise analog production process—including mastering—and the handcrafted production of 180-gram vinyl records at GZ Media, the world’s largest vinyl manufacturer. Each release is assigned a unique production number and comes with transparent documentation of its origin and production process.

2. Light

 

A technology that is unique worldwide makes it possible to apply holographic text and effects directly to the vinyl surface without affecting sound quality.

3. Total Work of Art

 

Every detail, every piece of content is part of a holistic work of art: vinyl, design, posters, books, booklets, and, of course, a certificate of authenticity. Each copy is numbered. Depending on the edition, additional collectibles are included, such as music cassettes, guitar picks, drumsticks, and other project-related items.
