A tribute to an icon who has, perhaps, never been so hip, the Serge – Singer, Lover, Provocateur, Smoker limited edition print by Bonnie and Clyde.
The print focuses more on just one of those attributes, with Serge Gainsbourg captured in four smoking poses on a print that's sized at 23 x 30 inches, silkscreen printed and limited to just 20 – each one signed by the artists.
Want one? You can order Serge online, priced at £250.
Some of you might remember that last month we said that the Crosley Revolution CR6002 portable record player was available in the US. At the same time, we said we we expected Urban Outfitters to jump on it in the UK eventually. Well, it just has.
The Revolution is a reworking of the Sound Burger, that favourite of the crate digger, offering (we presume) the same features as the US model, which is portable record playback at 33/45 speeds, full range stereo speakers, battery power, an FM transmitter for firing music over to your audio system wirelessly and a USB socket, so you can easily transfer vinyl to digital formats.
Not sure about instore stock, but the player is available online right now in the ivory colour right now, priced at £165.

There's definitely a touch of the James Bond about this Sanyo G2311NK briefcase audio system.

Think of it as an old school iPod.

Back in February, we featured Super Size Art, which specialised in remaking classic singles artwork as giant, 3D-style canvases for your home. Well, if the originals were a little large for you, the new Record Cover Canvas range by Super Size Art might suit your home and wallet a little better.
A limited number of the original range are available at the smaller size of 42 x 42cm, including the likes of The Who, The Rolling Stones and Marvin Gaye – the latter pictured above. All are printed canvas sleeves with inner disc, complete with a wall hook for mounting. It's also sold in a protective box, finished by hand and signed and numbered by the artist.
The price for the new, smaller versions? £90 each. The larger versions are also available on the same site, do a check for the seller's other items.

If you've ever wanted to own the complete works of the Rolling Stones in vinyl, November 22nd 2010 should be pencilled into your diary – that the shelf date of the Rolling Stones limited edition numbered vinyl box set collections.
Two sets, one covering 1964 – 1969, the other taking in 1971 – 2005. Every release from those years is included on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl, including the first five albums in mono, the early EPs and collections such as the 'Big Hits' and Metamorphosis. The Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) album even appears in its original octagonal cover.
If you want the full breakdown of just what's included, check out our Electric Roulette site for that. Otherwise, sit tight and start saving. No price as yet, but we wouldn't be surprised if these went for around £200 each.
It's far from cutting edge these days, but back in the 80s, something like the Korg Monotron synthesiser could well have got you on Top of The Pops.
Using the same analogue filter found in the legendary Korg MS-10 synth (an instrument of choice for synth bands 30+ years back), this battery-powered keyboard packs an easy-to-use keyboard, an internal speaker and headphone jack plus voltage and low frequency-controlled oscillators for creating those crazy vintage-style synth grooves. You can also filter and modulate sounds from other external sources via the audio input jack.
It could be too much fun. Available online, it sells for £59.99.
