Japanese Pressing Vinyl question


Ever hold a record to a light source and tried looking through it? I'm sure you're well aware that you can see through the MFSL pressings, not the heavier ones silly. I proceeded to examine other japanese pressings, ie non-MFSL half-speed and regular japanese pressings, and to my surprise they were the same type of vinyl!

Is this a special type of high purity virgin vinyl and something worth looking out for? Is this type of vinyl purely manufactured in Japan?

Wow! This is one of the most informational threads I have enjoyed in a while. I learned a lot about the vinyl pressing process and the pride taken by the Japnese to produce quality products. Thanks guys!
I just received some Japanese "Yes" albums that I had ordered (Fragile & Close to the Edge). I was quite impressed with how quiet they are. Detail and sound quality was outstanding. Now I know why.
