Hey Nicko,
I hope I don't sound like I'm “crackin' wise” with ya on this, but I've experienced MOST times you're trying to acheive some sort of distressed look, it has benefitted me to take it straight from the source.

What I mean is, scanning sourcing material and textures as close to what you need is probably gonna get you closer to an “authentic” look and feel as opposed to trying to creat it digitally.

Why not buy a record for cheap, lay some oversize paper over it, make a rubbing of sorts (with say chalk or pastel) and scan it in? Take it into Photoshop, grab the texture like line art and fill it with white. Lay it over whatever you want to be “distressed”. Try playing with layer blending options, too.

…Or if you're fortunate enough to find a worn vinyl cover where the texture isn't interrupted by type or design (say a predominantly black or dark colored cover where the texture will show up best), then all you need to do is scan the cover in and toy with it in Photoshop.

I hope I didn't insult you by over-explaining, I just don't know how skilled and experienced you are with Photoshop.

Hope this helps,
Enjoy!

Morning Breath has some good stuff, by the way…
