Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope OST (Limited Edition Gold Vinyl)
- Thread starter paulboland
- Start date
Already got mine pre-ordered, along with V and VI.
Me too
Glad they release them seperatly
Return of the Jedi & The Empire strikes back are slated for a August release, A New Hope is June 3
I ordered when they first went live and for me A New Hope was still then slated for June 3. I don't know maybe its different for the US.
things do change. I suppose I should be grateful that all 3 weren't posted today or I would have well and truly screwed
What an epic coincidence. Today arrived the A New Hope Vinyl reissue next to the A New Hope Vader from Hot Toys 
Very nice! Shame the "gold" vinyl actually looks brown though. No movement on my Amazon order yet...What an epic coincidence. Today arrived the A New Hope Vinyl reissue next to the A New Hope Vader from Hot Toys

Gold and silver colored vinyl are next to picture discs the ones with the baddest sound. So be glad that's not that glittery and more brownish. The sound is what we're are here for
Do certain colours really affect the sound? That's news to me... I genuinely didn't know thatGold and silver colored vinyl are next to picture discs the ones with the baddest sound. So be glad that's not that glittery and more brownish. The sound is what we're are here for

Yes. I also thought it's BS but I read some weeks ago an article about it. Would love to send it to you but it's in german. The purest form of vinyl is clear. Black is also 'colored'. Vinyl comes as granules like rice. There's 10-15 colors on the market of those granules. And using this colors there's a higher chance of 'non fills' in the grooves where the needle scratches and the sound get worse. The colored granules also is sometimes very low quality but they improved it a little in the last two years. Especially metallic gold and silver is bad. Marble-, Splatter- and Split got also a higher chance of those 'non fills'. Picture Discs are the worst of the worst and it shouldn't even called a vinyl because the picture is glued as a foil on the vinyl and the groove is pressed into this foil and not into the vinyl itself. And there's another problem with colored vinyl. Normally the press is adjusted on black vinyl with temperature and pressure and the press runs 24 hours. For colored granules they need to stop the machine, clean the machine, the machine gets cold and then they start running it again. This abets unbalanced spreading in the machine of the material and goes unbalanced into the vinyl what makes another not wanted noise on the record. If you want the best sound pick always black. Sorry if any English words are wrong, I hope you get most of it
Very interesting and informative... thanks for posting! Thankfully I don't own any picture discs as I'm not a big fan of them, although I have always wondered how they were made... now I know.Yes.
