Oh it's not that bad - just despise coloured vinyl in general. It was a better option than the cola cube coloured version.
Does the hatred stem from the fact that its gimmicky and crass commercialism, or do you think the quality of sound is different?
Regular (black) records are pressed with carbon, which is in part what makes them dark black, but this is mainly to increase the durability of the records, and to allow them to hold up after years and years. In colored vinyl, this is replaced with dyes, to give the record it's color, while decreasing it's longevity and durability. In most colored records this is audible in the sound too, as the record produces a thinner sound. So yes, the sound quality is different, and given the choice you should always pick the black record, unless you don't give a fuck about how long your record lasts or how it sounds.

Fuck, I should've known this, especially since I want to be a chemist (well, biochemist). But regarding the sound, I have no idea how you would notice the difference, even with high quality headphones. _________________ ...and for dessert!

Surely you would after listening to the record a fair few times, though?
Perhaps, also maybe if I actually used headphones when listening to vinyl instead of being a liar and saying I have used them before for vinyl listening. _________________ ...and for dessert!

Lying is very naughty. But yes, depending on what your deck/amp are like, listening to vinyl through a decent pair of open headphones can (literally, if you'll pardon the pun) open your ears up to lots of nuances you just don't get on an mp3. It'll also pick up any imperfections very easily. I swear by cleaning my records before and after a play to get rid of the static and fluff, which can help of course. It's all part of the ritual that's made me go back to vinyl after years and years (well, that and finally having a music room/two-tier bookcase to store it all in). _________________ 'Reggae' & t'ing Folk 'n Stuff SHAMELESS RECORD DEALER PLUG
I dare say, this may be the most informative i have ever seen this thread get! Thanks, fellas!
In my jubilation upon discovering the Lucero news I posted earlier, i took a trip to the store to help kickstart my cousins budding vinyl collection. (records make the best gifts!) While shopping a found a few things for myself as well.
My copy of this album came in the mail yesterday and as soon and I am able to get them, more of his albums will follow. 😄😄😄
God bless you and his family always!!! 😄😄😄

Jazz-flute anyone? Lovely textured cover an' all on Blue Note - interestingly I've been looking to buy the repress, but to find an original was a nice surprise
From down the road at Howard from the Vapors' People Records:
Howard's such a dude. He's reduced all his reggae represses to a fiver (must be a Guildford thing). Shame I've cleared most of it out before now, but got this to plug a gap
Then, from a nurse who was selling her uncle's collection for a pound a pop on Gumtree:
Yep. A Russian pressing. Had to get it for comedy value. Misses off When I Get Home as supposedly was seen as a bit risqué by the Soviet censors. Those bleedin' Scousers and their 'suggestable erotic allusions'
