The rapidly increasing cost of (new) vinyl records, just because they're becoming popular again, greedy record companies start hiking prices up. Tw@ts!
That & the fact that the majority of them are using the CD masters for the pressing plates which basically makes them no better sounding than the same CD. But hey! You get all those bonus clicks & pops, so that's maybe worth paying more for
Yeah true. I'd love to know how much it costs to press vinyl & if the coloured ones do actually cost more to produce. I know some are in ltd quantities but even so...

They cost no more at all. But the vinyl is cheap rubbish & goes into the presses set up for regular vinyl. That's why they sound like cr@p
Is it not the same as regular black vinyl, just a different colour? Surely it's just plastic at the end of the day? Most of them seem to be 180g, not sure if that makes any difference to the sound quality or just less likely to warp...

No. It's more brittle due to the additives to make it a wacky colour. There is also a lot of using recycled material which has all manner of cr@p in it. As for weight, that's total BS. Sonically you're listening to what's in the grooves & not how heavy the disc is. A heavy weight disc pressed in the same quality as a regular one will sound no different.

does this mean the polka party at your place is off?
Yep. Oh & add bagpipes to the list.
except for this. i'm lucky to have seen the bonnie scot two nights in a row, blowing ted nugent off the stage. they were 3rd bill (cheap tirck in the middle). it was over after ac/dc's 40 minutes...
I hate the letter “Q.” Like, it needs “u” to even be effective. There’s nothing “q” can do that “c” or “k” can’t!
This made me genuinely laugh out loud! But I love the way the letter Q looks, and how it's a 2 in cursive. One of the prettiest letters, to make up for its inconvenience.

Glad I could help! And yeah, it definitely adds some elegance to the alphabet. And, I mean, could you imagine James Bond’s tech guy going by any other letter?
