The colour of feel

An Austrian label, appropriately called Reissued Sounds, have released three Glenn Hughes’ albums on a variety of coloured vinyl. Addiction and Feel have already seen a vinyl treatment before, albeit not of the splatteringly garish variety, while Live in Australia appears in this format for the first time.

Interested parties can find more information and ordering instructions from the label.

Thanks to our editor emeritus Benny Holmström for the info.

    I remember from the days of yore that colored and especially translucent vinyl sucked the big one, it was hissy, sounded thinner, warped quicker and the grooves wore out faster because black vinyl is more heat-resistant (where the stylus scrapes the vinyl, temperatures rise). Is that still the case or has general progress done away with those drawbacks?

    These days they probably use thicker vinyl than they used to, that might alleviate some issues.

    They are not made for sound Uwe, only for collectors or a trend of sorts. I never attempted to play my Pink Floyd vinyl at all, Dark Side of the Moon. From a distant memory of mine it had a warning of sorts that it wasn’t to be played for that very reason. Cheers.

    Me thinks the sound of colored vinyl has improved over the years. Me thinks also that isn’t because of some general change in the recipe, but because all the ‘old’ colored vinyls I know and heard have some kind of bootleggy vibe to them. I don’t know if there were regular ‘big’ albums in the 70s or 80s that got the color-vinyl treatment, but in general it seems to me that the colored ones were almost always either bootlegs, cheap samplers, interview discs or stuff like that. Those discs would have never sounded good anyways, because the recording was cheap or they were made by a bad factory (press plant?).
