Why are we all suckers for colored vinyl?

Question: A reissue is released by a band that you like and generally buy some/most of their records but it's not necessarily your favourite band/artist.
The new pressing is readily available on standard black vinyl for $25, or a limited edition (2000 copies) colored vinyl for $38.
You have them both in your hands. Which one do you buy and why?

It's a great album, LV, I trust you won't be disappointed.

Yeah, he's gonna love it. I did not. But I'm lame.

Yeah, it's safe rap music for indie dudes who don't like rap.

Colored vinyl is pretty stupid. Given the choice, I go plain black. White vinyl might as well be cotton candy.

i don't make a conscious effort to get colored vinyl, honestly. that tomorrow record i posted i had no idea was colored until i opened it, but i immediately thought it was the coolest piece of colored vinyl i had.

in your scenario, where it was a band i don't obsess over, i'd go the black vinyl route and use the $13 for another record. but if it were pink floyd or pearl jam or r.e.m. or something, i'd probably buy both.

Black is boring

Agreed. I love colored vinyl so much. I buy vinyl mostly for the novelty factor right now, so I pretty much only spring for it if it's colored.

I have endless respect for SNC, but he's off the mark on this one. El-P has a liquid-fire flow and an awareness of formal structure that would make a poetry professor's head spin, and while Killer Mike gets through to me less often, when he really sinks his teeth in his fury is infectious. Like Kanye, the non-street-ness of their audience has no bearing at all on their raw talent.

My latest Discogs splurge on some long-coveted records:

Blew 12"

Screaming Life on Blue Marble (yes I should've held out for the ltd edition Orange one but it's like 4X more expensive)

For a 180-g reissue of a '90s album, that price ain't bad!

southp · Post by **southp** » Tue July 07, 2015 4:09 pm

Yeah, I pre-ordered through Amazon.
Now I'm waiting on that one plus the Nirvana greatest hits reissue.

Simple Torture · Post by **Simple Torture** » Tue July 07, 2015 4:24 pm

I'm holding off on both of those for now; I've got 6 pre-orders out there in the ether, and come August/September I'm going to have to roll back all ordering habits.

So my record shelving is back up against the window. I have 1 of the windows open but thats on the far right side of the shelf.

point is. My record cases are beginning to warp a little. WTF? The records are fine (for now) but its like the sleeves are starting to shift a bit. Its not like they are getting rained on
