Just been looking at the release lists. Nothing really for me.

Black Sabbath - Master of Reality [In Slim box with poster, Coloured Vinyl] For god sake coloured vinyl! Why o why?

Doors - Morrison Hotel Sessions [2x Vinyl] on Rhino but i doubt ill bother tbh.

Genesis - Live at Knebworth [Numbered Black Vinyl] is this 1978 or 1992 show! if its the latter forget it..

For anyone into Tangerine Dream the 'Keep' soundtrack will be available too in 2LP format shame it's rubbish

Look mummy, there's an aeoroplane up in the sky

Fuck shit coloured vinyl off while they are at it. No one wants that shit in their collection unless you are 10 years old.

Worse still, for me are picture discs. Who the hell would want smoke thing like that spinning round?

The problem is coloured versions sell more. I even see so called Audiophiles on Hoffman buying various coloured variants. There is a completist collector mentality out there even if coloured sounds worse or even more relevant, the reissues are not near as good as an original pressing. Coloured vinyl looks so wrong but I have a few since some titles don't come out on regular black. Some play dead quiet but often they are rather noisy in places. There was an RSD of 'Yes' on coloured vinyl but at least that one is a good pressing and a KG cut.
