The vinyl that looks black until you hold it up to the light and there
is a slight brownish translucent light seen thru it, this is a special
higher quality vinyl. The pressing plant I used to take my recording
students to had several grades of vinyl available to the customers, and
we saw the large barrels that each grade came in from the factory. This
stuff was the high grade.
