shop in Edinburgh just uses clear vinyl covers and then hangs the
covers up by whatever method is available.   I guess the alternative
might be to buy a cheap (say) metal frame with black backing paper
and insert card (or whatever you call the piece of card that frames the
central picture) and ask a frame shop to enlarge the central hole in the
insert card into a circle shape that would fit the album.   Then slot
everything together.

The Magnu Silver Machine pic disc was issued in the shape of a
motorcycle rider.  Dunno whether you'd class it as 12" although its
irregular shape makes it bigger than a single.
