the good thing about white vinyl
is that you can write stuff on it in marker pen:

Note: You can do this on any old vinyl.

It will be harder to read on black.

i like my coloured vinyls cos i can sit at home with them with the lights on and touch myself, whilst looking at all the pretty colours,
but when i go out into the dark dingy parties, i cant make the colours out...so i get all confused :cry:

did u seen the glenn wilson with the robot graphics on one side there savage its like cut into it... i ave a blue record with libertor djs all friends electric .. its pretty old but i dont think a colour really makes ne differance

yup coloured look ok but try using em in a dark smokey club, there hard to see the start of tracks etc......dunno if its coloured thats the prob or the fact ther see through.

think a non see-through coloured would be ok....

nah see through vinyl is weird, you can see the grooves from the other side, so when you think a tunes gonna break down it dosent as its the grooves on the other side... highly confusing

Everyone agrees that coloured vinyl is pretty but more tricky to mix on, but i'm still clueless as to why they would have lower sound quality.

At face value the idea seems absurd that the colour would affect the sound quality but, not knowing how vinyl is pressed, i'm willing to accept that there maybe a scientific explanation behind this. anyone?
