It's been a bit since I've had vinyl, so I might be wrong (as if !) but I tend to think that vinyl and concrete don't mix in the most desirable fashion.
So I'd recommend the following:
Step 1: Remove albums from driveway
Step 2: ....... uhm ..... that's all I've got.
I'm afraid that F1's prediction may come true. There may be some vinyl guru that can offer a "rabbit out of the hat" solution, so good luck !

For fun and curiosity I smashed an old 78 into pieces, put them in a jar filled with denatured alcohol and waited for the shellac to dissolve. It never did.....guess that 78 wasn't made from shellac after all.Political Correctness'.........defined

Yeah....I was pretty sure what y'all would say. I may put them up on Ebay for some artist type to make something out of them, but Im tired of holding onto stuff.

You could make wall art out of them. I've also seen artist types make bowls with them.Political Correctness'.........defined

Excellent work ! You could label this piece, "George Thorogood".
Decisiveness. That's a good quality in a person.

Harvey Pekar is rolling over in his grave!
Interestingly, 78's do better than Digital download Karmas. -

It's the passion he used to smash the discs. It shows his angst and anger towards capitalism. Showing them that he will not conform to society!
Bravo! $28k is a bargain! -
Aw, man, you were on to something! (The job would go faster with bigger discs).
