More new records! Big smile

I finally found a copy of Rubycon! It only has some noise in the beginning of each side but it plays surprisingly well. It was such a joy to listen Approve

I bought this one really cheap because it has a bent corner. The music is one of the most interesting Space Rock (with tons of different influences) I discovered this year. Soon on PA Wink

I've been getting into Synthpop/New Wave on Youtube this year, this is the first album I got from the genre. It's another of those albums where the inner sleeve forms the cover, in this case you have an alternate cover if you turn the sleeve. Great sounding German pressing too, the synths sound punchy Big smile

I got this cool classic along with Plank, I only had Journey from him. It's another of those that has sound on the run-out groove, yay for manual turntables LOL

Another Krautrock masterpiece in my collection. It's too bad they didn't keep the cover like the original but at least it sounds great. It's so pleasant to the ear that it's easy to get carried away by the music Approve

One of my favourites of 2015, the record store owner was clearly glad to finally get rid of it LOL

It's more electronic than ever and I surely appreciate it. It also has the coolest cover: there's an outter striped plastic cover that creates an animation when you slide the record out. You can see it on video here.

^ Thanks! We'll see about that, I really like Journey. I think he should have ordered the songs chronologically, it makes the concept difficult to follow.

Have fun :D

I already know what you got but I think you should :)

Hi!

I was looking for information about sound quality of colored vinyl vs black vinyl and found this :

SCALE OF COLOR VINYL SOUND QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS:*
(Surface noise 1= quietest / 8 = noisiest)
1. GGR Black vinyl
4. Transparent Colors (Blue, Green, Clear, Gold [orange], Transparent Red, Coke Clear, Fluorescent Colors)
6. Non-Mixed Opaque Colors (Pink, Red, Yellow, Violet, Brown)
7. White
7. Opaque Mix (Mixing opaque and translucent color(s) in particular; and also tend to have visible “staining” after a few hundred records, which can be seen in certain light).
7-8. Random Color / Recycled Color Shades
8. Hand-made variants
8-10. Glow In The Dark / Glitter Records

It seems safe to say that black vinyl last longer but what about sound quality? What do you think?

I really haven't noticed a drop in sq from black to coloured vinyls of any kind. But I know Picture Discs are somewhat unreliable. At least 1 in 4 has a skip or flaw somewhere.
