Thanx for the postcard, must have been an excellent trip. I know Wiki is
not gospel but here's a quote "
Since most vinyl records are from recycled plastic, it can lead to
impurities in the record, causing a brand new album to have audio
artifacts like clicks and pops. Virgin vinyl means that the album is not
from recycled plastic, and will be devoid of the possible impurities of
recycled plastic."



If you hold one of the Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs' half-speed mastered
'Original Master Recordings' black LPs up to a strong light you can see
the light through it!!


Phew, stoppit now before you get ideas of using laser light and a smaller
disc ;-)

Laugh if you like, but there could be summat in that - no direct contact to
*wear out* the record and a smaller disc to save space and allow players to
be made from tin and much smaller??

It's a wonder somebody hasn't already tried it.....
