Early MOFI vinyl formulation


From my memory, MOFI's early vinyl was sourced from JVC Japan? The most obvious trait is, you can hold one of these lps up to a light source and actually see light through it. How is this possible from a black vinyl lp? Why hasn't any other lp manufacturer tried to replicate this? One thing for sure, this vinyl was/is quiet!

Yes, Theo...in the past, "virgin vinyl" is what we looked for in a record. And you could hear the difference.

These days, the buzz words are 180g, 220g. All that matters is that record is thick and heavy. If it's 180g, then it must sound better.
