Colored Vinyl

[ampegdan]

Got the Beatles' blue anthology album. Weird thing is my brother had the red one but it was on black vinyl. Neither got great care back then..
My daughter collects them, has quite a few but they're all weird stuff, like the soundtrack to "The Deep" (blue), a yellow Mayfair Strauss album, a white disco 12", a yellow Harry James album, and various red, blue, and yellow RCA 45's from maybe the late 50's. Most, however, and in the greatest variety, are of the Robert Rheims Organ and Chimes Christmas album. Red, blue, green, red/black marble. They hang on the wall behind her bed.
I went up to her room to check the titles and dropped one of the yellow RCA 45's, breaking it. I am such an idiot.....
I want the pink Stones' "Some Girls" but haven't come across it at the price I want to pay.

[savv]

I got 2 Dave Pell (jazz) yellow vinyl

 

[ekmanning5]

Got the Grand Funk one (gold), got the Beatles anthologys (blue and red), got a Ventures album that's clear, and a couple of Count Basies (red as well). Oh, and 6 box sets put out by The Franklin Mint of Grammy award winning songs...all red.
Probably a few more I'm not aware of.

 

[pioneervato]

The only colored vinyl I have is John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over) which is a translucent green on 45. On the flip side is Yoko's (ughh) "Listen, The Snow Is Falling".

 

[super j]

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots on red see through vinyl

 

[treserious]

I got 2 Dave Pell (jazz) yellow vinyl

i have one of those as well, but its is hard to tell if these are scratched, and its it almost unplayable. i use it as a dust cover

 

[RawDeal]

Dave Brubeck "Storyville" on Fantasy Records -Blue Vinyl. A lot of Fantasy Mono's are Red and the Stereo's are Blue.

 

[Cantabury Guy]

The ones I have handy now are original 45RPM
The Du Droppers-Cant Do Sixty No More-Red Robin 1952 Red Wax
The Crows-Heartbreaker-Rama 1953 Red Wax
The Gaytunes-The Thrill Of Romance-Timely 1954 Red Wax
The Spaniels-Good nite Sweetheart-V.J 1953 Red Wax

One I dont have but was lucky to have seen back in1962 was probably the "most beautiful" record ever made. A 45RPM by the Larks on the Apollo label 1951. The wax was a beautiful red-orange, the label was a bright deep yellow and the printing was red! A copy today will easily get you $7,000 to $ 10,000.

 

[Cantabury Guy]

Oh, the title of that Larks record was My Reverie.....any one have one?

 

[electronjohn]

Hate to be a poo, but the Dave Mason with marbled vinyl is "Alone Together". Wish mine had a nicer sleeve. I have a bunch...some that come to mind right away are a 12" ELO single "Don't Bring Me Down" in blue, a couple clear ones which I can't recall immediately, my 45 of "Strawberry Letter #23" by the Brothers Johnson in red and still smelling faintly of strawberries 30-odd years later, and, my fave: Bobby Caldwell "What I Wouldn't Do For Love" on red, heart-shaped vinyl. Sold all my picture discs years ago for job-hunting gas money. Wahhh.

 

[JJJimmy]

This is the only one I have...actually got it for my daughter to frame and hang on the wall. Just haven't gotten around to it, cause I REALLY like the sound. These guys are pretty good!

 

[wilsons926]

Innervisions - Stevie Wonder on transparent red vinyl

Food For Thought - Fred Wesly and the JBs on transparnet purple vinyl

Doing It To Death - Fred Wesly and the JBs ^

they are all new reissues, and they sound great! no surface noise, warps or anything like that. it was so fun opening a brand new record. something i thought i would never get to do since i'm 17 and vinyl was gone for a while before i was born.

I have two Atreyu records, one clear(no color), the other red transparent. Too bad they look better than they sound, the mastering could have been better.
