But in order to sandwich the picture between sides 1 and 2 very thing vinyl is used for the actual playing surface. So the audio quality will not be as good as proper vinyl, it will wear down faster, and pops and clicks will quickly accumulate. Like "gold" records, they are not really meant to be played.

I own a few and have played them fine. The reason you don't see more of them is that they cost a lot more to press, and they don't sound quite as good. And no, the picture will stay fine as long as you don't go play wild DJ with the record or play it on something from the 1950's that tracks with all the force of a WWF member.
