Greyish purple, Purpley grey, medium grey swirl. You are doomed.

on other fronts:

I asked this question of the pressing plant:

"Do you use the same material for the various weights of LPs?"

And the answer was:

"Yes the vinyl is all the same."

-- I will report more as I find it.

In the meantime, I'm going to press RAR on 180 and on 140, both black vinyl. A small run, between 100 and 300 each. I'll post when they are closer to arriving. Let's get to the bottom of this, haha!

1. How awesome is it that var is posting here?

2. Someone should find out if the new LTJ record was pressed using the same materials, because there is a 180g and various other pressings...that could be a good testing ground.

1. Very!

2. Another comparison that could be quite good would be AM! - New Wave vs. White People For Peace 12"...although the different positioning of the song could affect the outcome more than the vinyl weight.

-- Blue covers... there was a version with blue covers. Ha. Sorry if your face melted.

(For an extra $100 we'll screen print any damn thing you want on the cover. Your face instead of Axl, for example? Hahaha.)

-- The new LTJ looks like it was pressed at GZ, judging from the appearance of the vinyl. I do not have one yet, but I bet the inscription is stamped in, not hand scratched. That means direct-metal mastering and a different material than used in the USA.

So stoked on this!!!

I can't believe I forgot to ask Vinnie about the weight of the new vinyl when I was talking to him at the Poughkeepsie show.

-- Yes, gonna do the 180 RAR. Probably 300 copies. More info later. I dunno how many people will care, but it will be an interesting experiment.

-- Yeah, I said it, so I'll back up the custom screened RAR idiocy. I was actually joking, but I'll sure as heck do it. Most of that $ will go toward the poor sap that will have to burn the screens and do the printing. Damn.
