This is quite an interesting thread: I had no idea there was such a thing
as recycled vinyl, though I used to live near a pressing plant in New
Malden and once went to see it (about 35 years ago?)

What about original vinyl now? Hast the vinyl of 30-40 years ago
inevitably detoriorated in other ways? Was recycled vinyl used then?



If what I heard was anything like the truth, vinyl was recycled back in the
70s due to the 'Oil Crisis' at the time. Today, given the far smaller number
of records produced and the virtual disappearance of the supply/return
mechanism on a broad scale, I *suspect* it's unlikely anybody actually
bothers to **** about recycling records....
