>From the words of industry legend ron Murphy, black vinyl is always used time and again, but coloured or clear vinyl is usually the most pure, as when you scrape off the last bits, it goes into the glob of black and whatever else. He told me that common practice is also to have the black vinyl at a lower waulity level, because it CAN be, but clear or coloured vinyl has to be at a certain purity level just to be clear or coloured. In other words, most black vinyl is of a lower level, but it doesn't HAVE to be. Because of the higher purity level, though, I do believe that the vinyl is a bit "softer", but that's why it plays better (and purportedly does wear faster, but can be avoided with good weighting, etc)...
