So basically they're cheap enough for use-once-and-toss. Reminds me of the vinyl 
records available in Asia back in the 60s&  70s. The vinyl was so poor that 
playing the record also destroyed the tracks for the needle. But it was a cheap way 
of collecting music on tape (reel-to-reel).

Or my long-misplaced Billy and the Boingers 45rpm insert from the "Billy and the 
Boingers Bootleg" Bloom County collection...



I have that! Never played it though.

Also the records in Asia came in various colors: orange, green, pink, red, etc. The only major label album I have in a color other than black is Elvis' Blue Album.
