Holy **** is it impossible to decipher track delineation on white wax.

Ultra clear is the absolute hardest track cue

Any kind of see-through colored vinyl is a nightmare. I've dropped loads of clangers over the years playing them in bars.

 

[Padraig]

Also is colored vinyl more prone to crackling or is it just my imagination?

I've heard this to be true and straight old school black has the best sound though I have no clue why.


Quick search says white is the only color that causes problems.

Lots of old school dudes will donald duck on you about how inferior color vinyl is to black, but from what I gather even black has coloring added to it--clear is audiophile. With that said I have amazing sounding black records and amazing sounding color records. I also have ****** pressings on black and color vinyl. In this day and age the blanket statements just don't stick like they used to. I've bought new/sealed lps that were warped or defective and second hand lps that should play poorly and don't. I think the hardest part about playing white vinyl is if the dust is white/non visible on the lp, I am less likely to brush the grooves and will get a more crackly playback.

A classic with a serviceable Shorts hazy low abver

Fun with Can and the mint mango Shorts brew we had on tap at my wedding, a day after the anniversary.

I really loved cries of the past (before this one) but I don't know if it exists on cd, let alone vinyl.

I can't believe The Changing of Times is on vinyl, I played the **** out of the cd and Act of Depression for a year. They're Only Chasing Safety w the Jane Doe inspired artwork was fine but I can't help and wonder what would of happened if they'd continued on this more metal route. Also, how metal are those old Underoath shirts?!

 

[PurityControl88]

freakin love this album.

My favorite Comeback Kid album hands down. I used to pound an energy drink and listen to this album whenever I had a 30 minuteish drive somewhere.

 

[ripps1]

Second record with this album is a white splatter wax.

Cheers

Harry Pussy's s/t EP. Just straight free form noise with a punk attitude. A little abrasive and challenging at first but it really grows on you.

I'll chime in here that there are a number of factors in vinyl affecting quality, but color isn't really one of them. First, the spacing of the groves is a big factor--the closer together the groves that the needle tracks the crappier the sound. Todd Rundgren's album "Initiation" was over 30 minutes per side and is one of the longest LP's ever made, and the sound was poor at best. A liner note on the sleeve acknowledged this advised listeners to record the album to tape.

Second: The energy crisis of the '70's caused petroleum prices to skyrocket, a vital component in vinyl manufacture, and record companies scrambled to cut costs by using thinner and cheaper vinyl. The result was poorer quality albums. Some current pressings still use cheap materials. Albums made prior to the '70's use a superior vinyl. Also, some newer issues(post 2000) are advertising they now use a thick(high quality) virgin vinyl.

This morn enjoying Epic's Son of a Baptist to some Byrds tunes. Really decent coffee stout, I'm grateful a number of breweries now make excellent coffee beers. I can remember ten years ago when Alesmith's Speedway was the only show in town. (Spoken like Donald Duck.)

feelin (hopefully understandably) ****** tonight. this probably won't make me feel any better, but there's an outside chance the beer offers a little catharsis.

would totally just buy this sound unheard, but I don't think I can have this cover art floating around the house

Here is Montrose and Ouray CO, this corner of CO is usually last in the distro chain. But by the time you read this it'll likely be sold out--Odd13 hoppy stuff moves fast.
