This is the exact reason why I got into Vinyl! My first colored vinyl was a white vinyl with a blue splatter on it. That's how my vinyl collection started.

Have you thought about doing a top 5 best/worst album covers from your own Personal Collection?

I started my vinyl collection in February. My favorite vinyl in my collection are the colored ones I have. The colored ones I have in my collection are : Halestorm’s 10th anniversary edition of their first album (which is actually a 2 LP version. 1 LP is blue, the other one is yellow). Stitched Up Heart’s latest album “Darkness” which is a solid red vinyl, The Rolling Stones Greatest hits album “Honk” which is a double album with 2 blue LP’s, In This Moment’s “Blood” album has a blood red LP, and then I have Lacuna Coil’s album “Karmacode” which is also a dark red LP. I’ll be getting In This Moment’s latest album “Mother” which was released in March which isn’t released on vinyl until Thursday in the mail. The cover is “lenticular” and the 2 LP’s are solid red. I do want have a wider variety of colored vinyl other than red in the future, I just haven’t found any that are in other colors that I like. I want to get New Year’s Day’s “Unbreakable”which is tricolored I think. The rest of the vinyl in my collection are the standard black records. I have all 9 Led Zeppelin albums, a Billy Joel album, The Rolling Stones “Let It Bleed”, 2 SuperTramp albums, a John Lennon Album, and an E.L.O album. I think that’s it though.

I got a glow in the dark record recently and honestly, I couldn't notice any major flaw in the audio. It sounded pretty damn good to me

Less than a week ago, I learned that single-color vinyl can be turned into marbled vinyl. I’m not sure how, exactly, but it definitely can happen, and with zero damage to the disc! Back when I was about 13, I bought the brand new (at the time) Grand Funk Railroad album ‘We’re An American Band’. I was so impressed with the clear yellow vinyl on which it was pressed that I went back to my favorite Be-Bop Record Shop and bought the single, which was the exact same color. About 20 years after buying that record, I sold my Technics 1200 turntables and my mixing board and shoved my racks of record albums into a closet. I kept my two racks of 7” singles on a shelf, on display, as a kind of reminder of my former life as a deejay. Fast-forward to 2020 and I’m buying new turntables and putting together a home deejay studio, so of course I pulled out those old racks of albums and started listening to some of the records for the first time in over 20 years. When I pulled out my copy of ‘We’re An American Band’ I was stunned! It’s no longer a clear yellow vinyl but a mottled pattern that looks very much like splatter or marbled vinyl. It looks like a mix of yellow, burnt orange and black. Quite beautiful, actually. But I was worried what it would sound like. No need to worry, it turns out, because the record sounds just as good today as it did the day I bought it. What a relief that was! The single version, pressed on the same clear yellow vinyl, is still clear yellow and sounds as good as the album. I guess the difference must be that the album would have been exposed to more heat over the decades it was in storage. Although it was never stored outside the house - never away from air conditioning - it was in a closed closet and so would not have been kept quite as cool as the single, which was on a living room shelf.

my top 5 in my collection 5 Nmesh- Dream Sequins, it is a 2LP, black vinyl with a white, and sometimes blue splatter. Some small streaks of brown too. 4 Raccoon Tour- The DentonWeaver, it is Neon Orange and really smooth 3 CatSystemCorp- Palm Mall Mars, it is the second press on transparent dark red 2 Surfing - Deep Fantasy, it is on transparent vinyl with a reddish pink, light blue and black splatter 1 Catsystemcorp- Sunday Television, it is on a transparent orange vinyl with a 5 way segment of white, Dark Blue, brown, and light green. Honorable Mentions FM Skyline- Illuminations, it is on a white vinyl with a blue and green splatter Macross 82-99 - A Million Miles Away, it is on transparent vinyl with a blue and pink splatter Macintosh Plus ( vektroid ) - Floral Shoppe, it is Bubblegum pink and the first colored record in my collection.

My favorite color is the one that gives no indication it's colored on it's album cover when I buy it. Always a nice surprise!

Really like your videos! Keep on spinning Jarrett :)

I just got a jotunheim by schiit and beyerdynamic 880 pro and am so excited to get my setup going. I include my clear records in my colored collection.

I have bicolor records and I can tell the sound quality is pretty much the same (with my average turntable)... There's so much I learn from this videos. Great work. Keep going :)

I absolutely love this channel! Keep up the great work!!!

Very nice display of all your coloured vinyl! They look awesome! Only thing is, in my opinion, coloured vinyl is harder to check for scratches.

I find myself favoring colored vinyl simply for the eye candy and knowledge that the sound quality is retained. Still a bit hesitant on clear vinyl though. I've got Opeth Garden of the Titans coming and I can't wait to play it. The red-green swirl has got me so pumped.

Hi Jarrett! Thanks for getting me into record collecting! I've been watching your videos for about a year and a half now, and I'm a big fan! I know you've made a few videos about colored vinyl, but in a future video, could you discuss the differences between opaque, translucent, and transparent vinyl? I feel like a lot of people and product descriptions get these terms mixed up. I also feel like there are so many variations of "clear" vinyl. For example, I have colorless transparent vinyl (i.e., my Urban Outfitters exclusive pressing of "Neotheater" by AJR), but some other records I have that are labeled as "clear" are actually translucent white (i.e., my first pressing of "Meliora" by Ghost) or even a translucent light blue (i.e., my "clear" pressing of "Pray for the Wicked" by Panic! at the Disco). Then there are terms like "coke bottle clear" (AKA "mint green") that really just mean that the pressing is tinted, transparent, or translucent light green. I'd love to hear your opinions on this, and I think this would be a great discussion to have on the channel! Thanks, Kelsey

Splatter Vinyl is definitley my favourite. I just seems to give off that, clareless and messy feel but in a good way. Almost rebelious.

Add one more type, color in color. The center is a different color than the outside. There is also a difference between marble or smoke vinyl when they mix the color of the pellet to make the puck, and a-side b-side, that I assume two puck on top of each other, a bit like the split color, but on the other axis. The very first one look like a a-side b-side. And you can mix type. like a two color with one half splatter, so for example you take a halt black half white with white splatter and the splatter only show on the black side. Check out Topshelf Records, they always release colored vinyl and each reprint is different. Lot of cool color and awesome music.

I feel fortunate knowing that I have the two types he mentioned he doesn't have in my collection. My Mars Volta "Bedlam In Goliath" record came with a glow in the dark record. And my At The Drive-In "Inter Alia" is a split (Black and White) record. I love them both!

'Oblivion' by Mastodon My favorite vinyl in my collection is the speckled clear "Leviathan" record by Mastodon! It looks amazing no matter if it's spinning or being displayed 🤘

Your collection is so pretty 😩❤️

Excellent video Jarrett!

I personally think colored vinyl provides a more lush sound for synths. I love my copy of Starboy on translucent red for this very reason.

Love your videos there so helpful ur vids helped me learn to clean my Pink Floyd and Rolling Stones Records thanks so much

I don’t have a high-end set up, just a decent one, but I *definitely* hear a change between colors on my red and yellow marbled Angelwitch lp. I have to crank the volume in between songs, and it’s only in one spot, on one side where there is a solid line between the 2 colors, thats where I can hear the tone of the surface noise change. The other areas where the colors are “smeared” or “melted” together, it sounds the same to me.

Hey man, seen other videos of yours, always loved em and just hit subscribe and the bell (0745hrs, GMT, weds, 17th Oct 2018) I love the coloured vinyl! Got a couple of dozen albums and about 310 singles on coloured (although 9 of the singles I've actually got two of, and one of each of them is unplayed) I love that the coloured vinyls are almost always rarer and they're always way cooler looking, in your fingertips and on the deck. Love vinyl and I'm lookin forward to many more videos from you. keep em comin my friend! Don't know if song of the day has any rules or criteria, but if not, Song of the day suggestion: After The Goldrush, sung by Dolly Parton trio. 😊💿💿💿👍

All I wanted to say is .thank you for sharing all you know about vinyls with us😊

I'm receiving the gold version of A Blessed Unrest today. Already have the red version. Learned about them from you! Many thanks!

VinylEyezz is always awesome 👏🏻

I'm a beginner in vinyl collecting and don't have a turntable yet, but my small "collection" (if you can call 6 records that), contains a pack of 2 white records and one transparent red vinyl. I'm also looking to purchase a Hollow Knight Piano Collections record set, which has a really interesting look - black records with a clear splatter in the middle. The music on them is more important to me though. :)

I’ve got a brand new glow in the dark record that has a huge amount of surface noise (Air - Moon Safari). It’s really loud between tracks and quite noticeable in quiet passages. Outside of it being fun to swirl a torch around on it in the dark while it spins, I can’t recommend them for pure listening pleasure.

Orange Chelsea Wolfe vinyl is to die for 😍

Looking dapper as always

These colours are awesome! There is of course: picture disc and laser etched with artworks. I used to have the Split-Enz lp and the STYX’s Paradise Theatre.

Well, I just find your channel and I'm loving it! Keep making this awesome videos! =) Oh, btw my favorite colored vinyl is the pink Madonna's Confessions on da dance floor.

Lots of people hate coloured variants but i absolutely love them.. Lost count how many now.. The Kreator Under The Guillotine box set has some awesome splatter / split /swirl combinations.. And the Death Splatter reissues from a couple of years ago are cool. And sound fantastic.. Although Symbolic wasn't reissued the White Metal Blade version from 2014 sounds fantastic.. As for Clear vinyl King Diamonds The Eye also from Metal Blade sounds amazing. The worse ones ive got and heard are early coloured vinyl from Back On Black. I have Emporer In the Nightside eclipse that sounds about half the volume of cd remaster.. And sounds muffled as well.

I really like the color in color variants, also known as color blob. Very cool looking.

I have a pressing of The Clarity by Sleep thats pretty weird. It’s transparent with a solid green blob on it, but the cover art is stamped on the opposite side of the grooves so you can see the astronaut spin as it plays.

I just love coloured vinyl, they look so friggin' cool. I have quite a few in my collection now. I've recently been getting into Nazareth and have bought about 8 of their albums on vinyl already, all on coloured vinyl. My favourite one is Razamanaz on yellow vinyl. But my overall favourite one at the moment that I own is the T.Rex album Tanx. It's on a split red and blue coloured vinyl and it looks gorgeous. I love it. I don't have any marble or splattered vinyl at the moment, though I would love to get some in my collection if it's music I like.

Hey, I love so many of your videos. Have been into final for a long time now, and still learning so much about it. Can you do a video about cereal box records? Thanks.

the traveling wilburys - end of the line

My favorite colored records I own are the Pantera Studio Albums Collection 1990-2000 set. The colors are solid white, red, blue, brown, and orange, and they match up really nicely to the album covers.

Very interesting thank you.

I'm a sucker for Clear vinyl, also i don't have any Solid White vinyl but those look very cool too!

i think splatter vinyl might be my favorite but the ones with etchings are pretty neat.

All the kinds of Colored vinyl are works of art.

I had a Kraftwerk fluorescent 12" in the 70s, p-layed it on a decent turntable and the sound quality was good

Got my SOPOR AETERNUS vinyl that glow in the dark and it sounds like there's a bit of sand on it but it beautiful.

Glow in the dark vinyl. I have just the one, and it’s Ghostbusters, where the ghost logo on the full song side is glow in the dark. The other side is essentially a picture disc. I haven’t found any reduction in sound quality from because of the phosphor or the combining of the colors. It was still sealed when I bought it a few months ago, so it hadn’t been played until I got it.

Man those are some cool records

Recently saw a golden vinyl - the limited edition Voyager. Totally blown away.

Very informative

look up liquid filled vinyl's playing on those side ways turntables, looks so amazing

In my travels I have found the the same titles on colored vinyl and black vinyl sound the same however the between track stuff as well as lead ins and lead outs are, more times than not, much noiser on the colored or clear versions. This especially happens with the ones that are made especially for places like Barnes and Noble. I have gotten some really noisy pressings in color from there.

Another great video Jarrett, I own phosphorescent LP’s & really haven’t noticed anything different to the sound. One phosphorescent LP that you should check out is Moon Safari by Air. Remember by Air song of the day. 👍🏻

I have recently purchased a triple disc album of the german band Deichkind. It has a white, a dark yellow and a red disc. They look absolutely beautiful.

Hi there just wondering how to go about cleaning my static brush?

so how are the marbled ones made?

I had a glow in the dark 12in single back in 1978; by the group Kraftwork it looked so wonderfull!

A really cool album is Hi Viz by the Presets. One disc is a marble pattern and the other is a split coloured disc. They are touring America at the moment so you maybe able to pick a signed copy if you are lucky from on of their shows

How to you deal with records that have been pressed off centre?

My first record was weezer Pinkerton. Seeing that blue record spin sent me down the rabbit hole

I've subbed. A more recent video that you did was sponsored by Vinyl Moon. I joined their VM Record Club where they ship a new Mix-Tape on Vinyl (LP) every month. 105 volumes so far, each with the choice of Vinyl Color/Pattern. I'm going back and ordering the previous volumes as I can manage it. Of course there are also their VM Exclusive Pressings (generally limited to 100 copies each). Their prices are reasonable and the people at Vinyl Moon are both helpful and friendly. Thanks for letting us know about them.

I was surprised you didn't include or expand on "hand poured" vinyl... I have a few of these from graveface records and they look and sound insane!

How doe the do the marbled vinyl.. all other makes are pretty clear to explain.. but how is that space swirl, cloudy, layered, spacy almost 3D type colored vinyl done?

My cousin owns a Vinyl Cutting Machine, which you can basically record music unto a Vinyl. But those Blank Vinyl Discs are becoming hard to find, not to mention he spent close to $10,000 on the machine itself, which was up for sale for $15,000. That's something I definitely would love to own. But he says that the sound quality is not as good as the original pressed Vinyl. Im more into Compact Cassette Tapes, and been messing around with them and recording music since early '90's. As time went by, I started collecting Vinyls as well, cuz they are awesome! Being a musician, I have a very good hearing. I managed to record my Compact Cassette Tapes louder and cleaner than CD's and especially MP3's. Yes! People may not believe me, but until I play my cassettes to them, they will be shocked. I had people think that I'm playing a CD, until I pressed stop and ejected my Type IV Metal Tape from my 1,000 watt stereo system. While playing music from my tape, things started falling off the shelfves, held a paper close to one of the speakers, it instantly got sliced in half. Yes from playing a cassette tape. Since I have a good hearing, I decided to compare original pressed Vinyl vs Vinyl that my cousin has recorded or "cut" on his Vinyl Cutting Machine. Not much difference at all, just slightly quieter. But average person will never be able to tell the difference. But the price though, for the Vinyl Cutting Machine is not worth it.

if you wave you hand over the screen on the beat of the music when he was showing his colored records it’s really cool

I agree. I bought some new lps with horrid mixing

My favorite record color is where there's one color bleeding from another. Examples are the blue/red first press of Mastodons blood mountain. I also really like my purple sleep Dopesmoker album, the color is the same as a black light.

I actively seek out merge/splatter vinyl. I have so many colored ones, that I lost count. As an aside, I do have one glow-in-the-dark double lp, and I think it sounds fine, but I also don't have a hardcore audiophile set-up.

I really need your help! I’m gonna buy my first record player and thinking about getting the ‘Audio-Technica AT-LP60’, would you recommend it? I don’t want to have to buy a new record player within 1/2 years.

And what about those picture vinyls? How are they made?

Cool song 25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago!

Colored records look really nice I want to get a turntable so bad!

My entire Ghost collection is on some cool colored vinyl. I have Opus Eponymous on like a candy Blue, Infesstisumam on orange, Meliora on clear yellow and Prequelle on a clear smoke

I recommend Ocean Alley's - Chiaroscuro. They have 3 versions of this album available and it's great from beginning to end.

The Show Must Go On; Queen

So, what color is the vinyl naturally? Is it clear? Do they add something to make it black?

How are the marbled ones made?

my favorite is clear with splatter i got a less then jake silver linings vinyl that displays this great

but how do they make the marbled records? Ive gotta see that

I actually picked up a copy of Pure Phase (or Pure Phase Electric Mainline to give it's full title) by Spiritualized recently on glow in the dark vinyl & in all honesty, the sound quality of this pressing did not sound any different to most of my other coloured vinyl records. Not sure if that could be down to tight quality control process at the pressing plant or if technology for pressing these types of records has just improved over time. I also just happened to pick up a copy of the 3 x LP of Iron Maiden's latest album Senjutsu this weekend, which was my first marbled vinyl. It's on crimson red with black swirls, which looks & sounds fantastic. Definitely hope to pick up more marble. :D

I agree, I love to see these videos. I can't wait until Vynyl Eyezz the movie comes out....:)

I have a video idea! I’ve been seeing the term “Lenticular Jacket” or “Lenticular Print Vinyl” floating around online, but I don’t really know what it means. Could you do a video explaining what it is?

Tri-Colour Vinyl LP , Icehouse, Man of Colours 30th Anniversary edition. Looks great.

Can you make a video on the crosely c200 i herd its a great upgrade from the crosely cruiser

message in a bottle - the police

I too love coloured vinyl! I have a few glow in the Dark ones! My fave is a glow in the dark 12” of Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jnr! It actually sounds ok on my system! I’d also like to add a further type what I call the washed vinyl! It’s where a solid coloured vinyl is then overwashed with another colour! The Damned did a beautiful one where a black vinyl record has a purple sheen through it it looks stunning god knows how that was done! But I agree some of the mixed colour ones are awesome on the turntable! My favourite it the Australian pressing of L7s Bricks are Heavy yellow and Green swirl vinyl! Looks so cool! Anyway I could talk all day but.... I wonder if you have done one on picture discs? These pieces of art are great too! Later!...

my favorite coloured vinyl record is roy ayers ubiquity- everbody loves sunshine the record is a translucent orange colour and i also have a cork mate and it looks sick.

@vinyl eyezz can you do a review on Victrola Vintage. Is it an ok record player for starters/ beginners who has a tight budget? hope you can answer

I got to record in Third Man Records and got a Red 45 of the recording. Pretty awesome

I'm curious and wondering do u have "night at the opera" by Queen

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard! That is a gorgeous Polygondwanaland pressing. What label made it?

The 4th one that is shown spinning, is that a picture disc? It has white geometric designs. It looks like a consciously designed pattern that wouldn't result looking like that by just placing color vinyl pellets to be pressed.

Very good song time by Pink Floyd

I find solid and transparent single coloured albums tend to sound the best with the splatter and other fancy versions sometimes being noisier for some reason

I have a very rare white vinyl Let It Be album (UK). Apple label, 1977. Also have red and blue albums from same era, in their respective colors. And many various photo discs.

What album is the orange record with the VW bug on the logo?

That yellow Chelsea Wolfe is pretty sick.

How long did it take you to film this? So cool!

so how are marbled vinyls made compared to splattered vinyls? 🤔
