It sounds like a nightmare of engineering to some degree. I don't see how you could make the records "float" while spinning. In other words if you just had an LP up against a wall (not on a turntable) and turned upright, the weight of the LP would shift and it wouldn't stay "straight up and down"while it spins on whatever mechanism you've contrived... In other words you still need the "back" of the LP to rest against something (like the top of a turntable).

The real gitcher of the idea is how to make them turn. I cannot think of a way to do this other than having an electrician create a motor system of some kind. This would be easily concealed behind your "faux" dry wall... but it would likely require a motor for each LP to which to spin.

And the part I mentioned above... with the record itself not having anything to "rest" against to allow it to stand upright and spin... you'd have to come up with a way in which to "hold" the LP at the center to keep it in a fixed position.

I envision a large section of drywall with 9 holes cut out. The holes you cut in the drywall would be roughly the size of the LP label (in the center of the record). You could then use these sections of leftover drywall (the circles you've cut out) as backers for the LPs (maybe attach the LPs with an adhesive). These cut out dry wall pieces could then be attached to a mechanism allowing them to turn inside their original "holes" in the wall. Once you place the LP on top of them you'd never see that you had cut a hole in wall.

I hope that made SOME sense...
