The unparalled aesthetic beauty of a vinyl record


Recommended Posts

...i thought this dude was referring to how the actual record label (i.e. deathwish, mylene sheath, hopeless, etc) put the whole package together, not the actual paper center label.

i am clearly confused. though my interpretation makes more sense than what you guys are talking about.

I think he is literally talking about the label on the record itself, just going by where he mentions "designing the label", although I think your interpretation makes FAR more sense.

Let's talk about how different kinds of paper labels affect the sound of vinyl...

I've noticed that often the paper used for blank labels (like in test presses) is thicker than the labels used to print on. I've noticed that these thicker paper labels make the vinyl noticably sound better. I think it is because this thicker paper offers more stability when the vinyl is pressed, and probably this also plays an important role in the stability of the vinyl when they cool after coming out of the press. I have not found any significant difference between different colored labels, but that just might be my damaged hearing after years of going to see bands doing live performances.

Anyone else noticed this?
