I struggle to figure out how you came to the conclusion that a soulless money transaction is somehow comparable to buying a custom made vinyl album someone spent time on.
The cover might gotten the relevant input from the band but the vinyl itself has only a handful of options and plenty of them are just black.
But come on do you listen to music of a band becase they are great in taking pictures? Or because they are really really good in standing next to a vinyl press?
No
You appreiciate their music and you don't need a commercial token to do so.
