Interesting comment from skeleton_unit about black vs colour vinyl. Actually if your source material for a record is a CD then the CD beats the vinyl, black or otherwise. I've got very good record and digital playback gear and tbh for all my DW John Carpenter vinyl the remastered CDs sound better. The credits for the recordings on the vinyl seem to be the same as for the CDs so I'd have to assume the source material is the same, in the case of vinyl with more processing and background noise. Thing is this isn't always the case, if I listen to a 70's recording of music from Fistful Of Dollars (for example) I get sound quality I can't get from CD. I'm into artwork and nice presentation but it's icing on the cake to me, I'm hoping this little vinyl revival that's going on makes the most of the opportunities the medium presents.
