Not that I disagree (being a stupid garbage baby) but I can understand vinyl also being a big aesthetics thing for many people. What I'm saying is, drop 300+ bucks on that record. It really brings out the sound's deep colour spectrum.

Just pre-ordered M O O N's Particles EP, which has songs that will be in Hotline Miami 2. Would have killed for the first M O O N EP so I figured I shouldn't miss out on this one http://music.musicofthemoon.com/album/particles-ep

Colored vinyl often has a tendency to be of poorer sound quality than black vinyl pressings. Also, almost every single record I've purchased that had a pressing issue has been colored vinyl. I avoid buying colored LPs when possible.

I've definitely had more sound issues with colored vinyl versus black, but I don't really give a poo poo- colored vinyl is  and people who buy records for the amazing sound are nuts.

I think I only have one coloured record that actually has pressing defects. I have had several black ones that have defects. All my good coloured vinyl sounds great, some of my black records don't sound great. I think it's probably more on the mastering job or pressing quality that affects it.

I'm going through my stuff and adding it all to Discogs, it's fun to find colored vinyl I forgot about. I kind of hated the Melvins from Houdini on, so I probably listened to this once. It's such a nice juicy pink mmmmmm  I read some glowing review of this 2lp by Weakling, "Dead as Dreams". For whatever reason I bought two and I'm pretty pumped about that since they seem to go for a lot now.  E- Don't worry I love me some plain black vinyl too. E2- don't discriminate.

It's not unfathomable that people are willing to pay a couple bucks more for a large 12x12 album cover and funky coloured vinyl, even if it's purely for aesthetic value. Just saying.

I don't understand why colored vinyl would sound worse than black vinyl. It is all vinyl isn't it? Sounds like small-sample size bias to me.

The colouring agents are obviously different, and who knows if there's issues due to coloured records being smaller prints with a different setup than most records. But for the record I don't know about sound quality one way or the other, I just think they're silly and overpriced.

Ras Het posted:overpriced. I don't think I've ever paid much more for colored vinyl than a regular black copy would go for. Maybe a couple dollars here and there, but really negligible amounts. If you're talking about limited color runs that are sought after for their rarity, that's a different story. Collectors will be weird and prices are crazy.

I don't know the exact reason, but it's pretty widely acknowledged. In fact I was recently browsing a site from a company that presses LPs for indie labels and they have all sorts options. On the page where you can pick colors they point out that colored (especially multicolored discs) have a lesser sound quality. Now that being said, I know a colored disc doesn't automatically make the record awful and I do own plenty of them. I'm just saying that I will avoid them when given the choice and that I wouldn't bother paying a premium for it.

My Blade Runner OST on red transparent vinyl sounds loving amazing, it's probably one of the best in my collection. So I don't think it's an automatic downgrade either.

I really need to sort my stuff, having moved. The only colored vinyl I've gotten where the sound isn't as good as black vinyl are a couple of RCA Red Seal 45s of classical/dance music from the 50s I found at a flea market, but that's age. This clearly means I need more colored vinyl.

I found this at a thrift store some time back: It's a single from the combination of Mimi Martel and Bud Roman. Martel sings Why Don't You Believe Me and Roman does one called I. It was distributed by Tops Records who apparently did cheap covers. Red is the only other color that has seemed to pop up and it looks like most Tops releases were on the standard black. Yes, it says "unbreakable under normal use" and there is a big scratch on it. It's bad to enough to cause it get stuck, which is a shame as the Roman song isn't bad. I'm also slowly going through an album collection I've inherited, with a few bits I've picked up over the years. Everything of Dad's is from his adult years and includes a ton of John Denver, Linda Ronstadt and ABBA. Other stuff appears to be mostly from a slew of albums an uncle of mine won in a contest. Some are good - greatest hits albums of The Animals and The Kinks - but most of it has stayed in storage. I grabbed the ABBA stuff this week and a couple of Ventures albums I had forgotten I had. The Ventures in Space is pretty awesome with an amazing cover of Out of Limits.

I don't think it has anything inherently to do with coloring the record. All black vinyl is colored vinyl, if left to its own devices, vinyl would be clear. But to make it easier to use (since cueing up clear vinyl is a pain in the rear end), they make it black. If I had to guess, it's that coloring agents are more likely to have impurity for whatever reason, whether there's just less being made so quality control goes down. I don't know exactly. But if you go on audiophile forums, they'll swear up and down about coloring. It's fun. Someone will argue something, someone will say that's not true, and someone will eventually say "I know what I heard!"

Some dude made vinyl bowls out of Brand New's Deja Entendu and teenagers on tumblr LOST THEIR loving MINDS. Colored vinyl looks dope and out of every record I've ever bought I've only ever had two issues. Both times the label sent me a replacement (also colored) copy that sounded perfect.

sub pop posted:Q. What is this “Sub Pop Loser Edition”? I'm happy with my see-through green "Loser Edition" copy of 'Rave Tapes', with the see-through 'Pink' EP that came with it. Sounds pretty great actually but I don't have a particularly great system so "sounds bad" to me is "skips and pops" and it doesn't have any of them. I also have the vomit coloured edition of GBV's 'Vampire on TItus' too, it looks like this:  Hard to care about audio quality with that one as it's of their most lo-fi albums. It'll sound like crap no matter what you put it on. I started collecting vinyl because I liked the larger sleeves and the aesthetics of it all, and so coloured vinyl is just a part of that. In fact the first band I started collecting was Urusei Yatsura who did all kinds of odd colours. I love that their 'We Are Urusei Yatsura' album comes on see-though vinyl full with glitter. Nice.

78s were black due to the materials they were comprised of, they probably added carbon black to vinyl records upon their inception to ease the transition to microgroove. The only really mediocre sounding novelty records to me are early vinyl picture discs. They are a paper image sandwiched between two thin pieces of clear vinyl. They didn't seem to master the process for some time. I've seen records I would describe as "lumpy".

My favorite lovely vinyl comes from Jamaica in the 70s-80s. It's as if they threw sand in the mix every once in a while or used carbonated vinyl the stuff is so lumpy. The character is awesome though, I feel like I'm in a scene from Rockers every time I put one on. Sometimes it seems like they just assembled these things out of found materials. Anything that can be off center is, and labels might not match the cover or from side to side. A few I have are so thin the whole record and cover droop in your hand. On another the grooves run all the way into the label, which itself looks like it was cut out with scissors.   And this one is just cool  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl3eBU2ueQQ Well that one explains the lumpy texture if you see the guy grabbing the chunky vinyl up in his bare hand, making a sandwich with the labels. I don't think that's industry standard technique. And a scene from Rockers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jsX_diP30E You haven't seen Rockers? The whole thing is on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2gGQ7CtwaY Kevar posted:Some dude made vinyl bowls out of Brand New's Deja Entendu and teenagers on tumblr LOST THEIR loving MINDS.

If You DJ, You Hate Clear Vinyl. FACT. I hate cuing records in low light on a clear 12" bc they're practically impossible to see where i need to cue, whereas on a black record there is no question.

Coloured vinyl is 100% virgin vinyl which some people claim as inferior to a product with some recycled vinyl component., Depends on the country of pressing for how much is going to be recycled material on a standard black copy(~30%), but Jamaica is notorious for horrible pressings because they don't even remove the labels when recycling, so it's recycled with extra junk. It's kind of the culture to melt down singles from last week to press new ones for next week, which despite the quality suffering I think is pretty cool.

I bought mine in record stores and thrift shops, and I'm no reggae expert so it's a fairly random collection. Now I would probably search Discogs by label or artist and keep looking through the many versions to find a deal. There seems to be a fair amount under $10 plus shipping. Expect seller notes like "surface noise due to JA pressing".
