defaultusrnme Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Just asking a question because this is either just how it is or I'm really unlucky. I've found every, single, solitary white vinyl I've ever bought with the exception of one are always discolored. Whether it looks like it's covered in nicotine stains, sharpie streaks, numerous black dots and discoloations, they're always disgusting and I always regret buying them. Numerous other colored vinyl I buy also seems to always have odd streaks and discolorations. Anyone else? Just me? Note: Most of the time it doesn't effect play. However, the one I mentioned that looked like a toddler wrote all over it with a sharpie was flat out unplayable and I needed to get a refund. Basically, I just was wondering if this was common and don't feel like running into anymore unplayable colored records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 With black being the dominant color in pressing plants, you're gonna get the odd pellet falling in and getting melted into different color. I've never been bothered by this. If anything it's kinda neat looking. 19841gg3, vinyl addict, batnoises and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+hecollec+or Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Most of the white vinyl I have is actually pure white. Def heard this happens a lot with what you're referring to though. Transitioning from 1 color to the next when pressing can leave traces of the previous color. Maybe you just got unlucky with copies where they were pressing black or whatever before yours. Or maybe what you've bought is mixed race vinyl, & there's certainly nothing wrong with diversity. nancy_raygun, batnoises, thefinalmasquerade and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jollyronnie Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Vinyl records are pressed from very small pellets that are melted and stamped. To clean every pellet from the hopper before pressing white records is a time consuming (and shitty) task. If you want them to clean out the hopper there's a charge of about $200. So most of the time you just get streaks instead. We know you have a choice when searching for information and we thank you for choosing VC Message Boards.

I even doubt that it's why your copy unplayable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defaultusrnme Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Every. Single. Solitary. White. Vinyl. All 3 out of 4 records. Probably about 10. I just try to avoid buying colored. That, and why would I purposely buy more white vinyl when the first white record I ever get was marked up so bad it was unplayable (or according to another poster, it must've been a coincidence) ...and yes, I understand I'm being mocked.

nicole Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 You guys. Don't you find that your white vinyl sounds so much better than any other colour? What I like to do is buy black records and leave them in the sun until most of the colour bleaches out. Sounds way better bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 White vinyl tends to look tacky, and also sound pretty noisy. I know there are exceptions, but I try to avoid it when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
