  Actually, the colored vinyl for Jimi Hendrix Live at Winterland (clear actually) on Ryko and the colored vinyl for The White Stripes' "Elephant" (red and white) sound pretty damn good.

  On the other hand, the colored vinyl for Sleater-Kinney's "The Woods" is pretty noisy.

  I guess it depends on the pressing and the quality of vinyl that is used for the record.

  • But, you can play colored vinyl more than once every 24 hours, see... - kjd03842 12:33:27 09/08/06 (0)

    cuz, you know, the black vinyl ABSORBS the heat more.
    White vinyl relects it, and clear vinyl just lets it pass right through.

    And, if you drop the "u" from coloured, you save even more!

    That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

  Does white count as colored vinyl? The white White album ("The Beatles" 1968 release for those of you under 30? 20?) sounds very good indeed.

    Actually, I read here a few years ago that black vinyl is generally better due to the carbon that's present in the composition, colored vinyl does not and as a general rule, tend to not sound as good nor do they wear as well as the black gold as a result.

    I can't confirm as I've not heard enough of the colored stuff to really know, and what I did hear was on crappy record players and many, many years ago as a kid.

      Dunno, but the colored vinyl copies of my Velvet Underground 'Loaded', Postal Service 'Give Up', and Antietam's 'Burgoo' all sound like doodoo. It may only be 3, but three's enough for me to keep away from this shite.
