I'm really glad that you posted this video as I've been wondering about this issue, myself. I very much appreciate the explanation re: how picture discs are made as it clearly justifies my suspicions. Like you, I also love the Lateralus record (ALL Tool material, to be honest), but I don't even try to play it, since the first spin, as I noticed at first listen that no amount of cleaning was going to help - so I stick with the Lateralus CD. Here is my question to you: What about COLORED vinyl? I've also noticed some issues with colored discs and I have a bunch of them! I've recently bought picture / colored discs from Mastadon, Interpol, Rage Against the Machine, Tool (10,000 Days European pressing), Interpol, Fall Out Boy and Puscifer (the most disappointing as this is my favorite release from 2018). Thanks Jarrett! Mike

I agree picture discs sound worse than starndard black vinyls but they are look so cool that I still buy them If they are pressed correctly. Best example of well made picture disc is Batushka - Litourgiya. I mean EVIL 079 LP press and it sounds as good as it looks. It's all about how it is pressed and prepared, but ofc vinyl will allways sound better as a standard black disc (especially 180 and 200g version of a disc).

One of my favorite albums (Riverside's Shrine of New Generation Slaves) had a very limited original vinyl release in 2013 and no repressings, which now go for over $100. I'm really not that ready to spend that kind of money on a record, but I recently found out there will be a repressing in January. The problem with that, is the only record available is a double LP picture disc. My setup isn't that good at all, and I'm wondering if it's fine to get a picture disc if my setup is just made up of things I found at a thrift store.

On videos showing your LP-120, I noticed speeds for 33, 45, and 78. Standard 33 is a bit too slow for me because lots of records now have 33 and 1/3 RPM, and they sound so off on 33. Will the LP-120 play 33 1/3? If not, what are the best options for a quality player that has that specific speed? Unless that's a speed slider on the right side of yours...

Like you say , the proper way to use a picturedisc is to hang it on the wall. I , myself have only one. Tubular bells by Mike Oldfield. It looks great above my stereo.

First video of yours I watched. Subscribed before the intro was even over. Then, saw the metal Jesus Rocks cameo in the "subscribe to this channel" part, hahaha!

I read about this a long time ago, and I've certainly noticed a quality difference on some of the picture/artwork modern 7 inches I have. That Bart record looks great.

Is it possible to just use clear vinyl on top of the picture instead of that clear plastic?

I have several and they have good sound Q. I did notice a swooshing sound to them, but only when the music is not playing. This said, I have a lot of other records and formats so I haven't played any of the pic discs too many times, so they haven't worn out. I like your Kliosch monitors, but you could really use a better TT.

In the 70s I had Sgt Pepper on picture disc and the music sounded terrible. I also had the (Beatles) White album on Capitol white vinyl. That sounded pretty good. My question is does the vinyl have to black for it to sound good?

I have a few picture discs. I do it mainly just to collect. I have Purple Rain, EWF's Raise!, And some Disney soundtracks. I do notice the sound is different. Then again I have The NuMark TTUSB and the sound isn't a big difference with regular vinyl

I have 2 Meat Loaf picture discs. Bat Out of Hell and the 1983 12" single of "If You Really Want To", with "Keep Driving" and "Lost Love" on the B-side. However, I also have Bat Out of Hell on a normal black vinyl record (as well as on CD and cassette).

They should just reissue lateralus on 180 gram. Yea the picture disc looks amazingly beautiful I just don’t play much often cause of how well built it is. So for me I have it on a stand a masterpiece to show people and maybe spin every once in a while

They NEED to reissue Aenima, Lateralus, and give us 10,000 days. It would keep vinyl fans content while waiting for new music. Or at least myself.

Just not the same as having a physical piece of music and add in the artwork. No contest, to me. We could argue about sound quality all day. At the end of the day it's all about opinions and preference.

I actually have the whole King Diamond collection on Picture discs (your avatar reminded me of them), they are 180 grams reissue version, and they sound just fine. I'm quite proud of it!

great video! Now that I know. Once I was going to buy a Human League album on a picture disc and the manger in the shop told me "oh, don't buy it if you're going to listen to it" He didn't explain why, though.

I had Culture Club's "Colour by Numbers" on a picture disc and it sounded great - and the cover art was way cooler than the cover of the non-picture version.

Finally I know the answer! I wonder how bad is the sound from the picture disc (bought this item for the very first time). My friend told me that the sound is pretty the same like other vinyl version, but he was totally wrong..
@thesagedear6286 5 жыл бұрын
Thank your for validating what I suspected all along. And, thought I have been tempted to buy a picture disc or two, my priority is still sound quality.
