Yes, there are some black streaks in the orange vinyl on the Recon albums. Obviously a sloppy job by the manufacturer. The same factory that gave Ultimatum the pink swirl vinyl and claimed it was blood-splatter vinyl. Roxx tried a different company this time around. They are a bigger, more well known and respected factory, but they didn't give Roxx very good service and the end product wasn't what they expected. Needless to say, they won't be using RAINBO RECORDS anymore.

I know in the past they have used Erika Records and I have been pleased with those releases. The best is QRP but I assume it would probably cost us as fans more to use QRP. When I first saw the black I thought it was dirt but then realized it was black in the vinyl. Don't mind it at all. One thing I did so was toss the paper sleeve. I hate those and wish future releases would use Diskeeper type poly sleeves. I'd pay extra for those. But since I have a supply of them anyway I used one of my own.

I don't have this yet but seriously thinking about placing a preorder:

That looks awesome!

Picked up Bloodrock USA.

It was suppose to be clear with blood splatter but what we got was clear with red/pink swirl. Roxx was ticked but it was too late. They gave him a credit for his next order.It is pretty unique looking, but not what we wanted. Sounds great.

Me too. Haven't played it yet but I have read the mastering isn't very good. Wasbalso surprised that the Hendrix record isn't 180 gram.

Bday weekend so my wife bought me some records. Pretty In Pink on pink vinyl, Breakfast Club soundtrack on white vinyl and The Outfield Diamond Days (which I didn't know was available on vinyl). All of those are pretty cool. Not what I normally would have picked but they are great albums so I'm glad she got them.
