The main concern for most of the companies that sell records is how many they sell, definitely not sound quality, except for some small labels. If coloring the vinyl sells more copies, they’ll color the vinyl.
What's with all the new colored vinyl?
I'm comfortable with traditional things; they're usually the way they are for a good reason. Underwear should be white and vinyl should be black. I have to say I am not a fan of all the new colored records, especially clear and the color-splashed ones. I find them distracting and its hard to see dust and contaminants from my old eyes. Are the any advantages to them, besides marketing them as "rare editions" , that I am missing?
