What's with all the new colored vinyl?

My Mitsubishi and Sony Linear Turntables shine light up thru holes in the platter to detect lp size and then chooses 33 or 45 speed. I have to put a black light blocking LP below a Larkin Poe clear 'white' LP, which messes with VTA of course.

I’m giving my niece a vertical TT, and this LP with a smiley Face to leave on it for fun.

I paid less, but scroll down, see it sticking out of the jacket

Boxers should be plaid.

Don't buy them get new white underwear.

Other than the clarity vinyl that is a translucent milky white, all vinyl is colored, all.

If the vinyl used is high quality (virgin) and the quality control is high its all relative.

Not to dismiss that in some instances it has been used as shiny object marketing where quality sound is glossed over. Picture disc's are another thing all together meant as visual novelty items not to be played with any seriousness whatsoever or at all.

As far as the underwear vs vinyl context goes  ....

In this economy like many , for purchases like records I'm on a shoestring budget for now... so no context relative will be necessary or wanted . Prioritize and rationalize as a music loving audio person should...

Choose the original pressing and go commando ...
