What's with all the new colored vinyl?

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 ...

A lot of the records I buy these days come on colored vinyl--indie pop as well as other reissues. I haven't heard any difference in quality that can be attributed to the color vs. black.

 Thanks, but I wasn't referring to vinyl from the '50's. I asked about all the NEW colored vinyl, and why we are seeing so much of it lately.
