New Classic Records Coloured Vinyl

I just picked up 2 Diana Krall releases, the Xmas LP on Red Vinyl, and the From this Momement On, on white wax.

I noticed they are a bit noisy, ie surface noise. It got me wondering if Coloured vinyl suffers from the same lower quality as Picture Discs used to, where they were more for looks than for playing.

Check the archives at vinylasylum. Heck, you don't even have to check the archives. There are contstant threads (one there tonight) there about Classic's poor quality.

I bought the new Norah Jones, on red vinyl, and it was simply awful.l Very noisy vinyl. No amount of cleaning helped. I returned it.

Even on black vinyl I have two records that contain serious noise. One of these that keeps getting worse everytime I play it (it is now destined for the circular file) is Peter Gabriel's 2. Led Zeps 4 and Houses of the Holy, and Genesis' Selling England by the Pound all have distracting amounts of surface ticks and pops that are not static. I clean these with RR fluids on a VPI 16.5 so clean is not the problem. Quality control is essential to a successful business and I am not yet convinced that Classic has it together.
