Make Believe It's Your First Time-LP

[Rick-An Ordinary Fool]

For anyone here that has this LP, could you do my a favor & hold your LP up to a light bulb & tell me if you can see through the LP, is the light bulb visibly to the eye? Or is the vinyl dark colored?

I remember buying this LP when it first was released in the record stores back in 83, my copy is the dark color vinyl.

However I just obtained a sealed copy lp that I opened to find that it is the purple color vinyl.

Can you tell me what kind you have? Thanks

Both of my copies are solid black vinyl.

Both of mine (Voice of the Heart, right?) are a very dark but slightly translucent color. No purplish hue like I can see with other '80s A&Ms. For what it's worth, Yesterday Once More, Richard's Time, and 1989's Lovelines vinyl that I have are all brighter translucent, but not the purplish color.

If I recall correctly, the more translucent stuff is called Quiex II, a virgin vinyl product that's more quiet as a base for the recorded material. A&M started using it as an audiophile product, but later adopted it for general releases.

This new Voice of the Heart Lp I just acquired is definately translucent and has a purple hue that is really visible. It's even a little more purple than my translucent Lovelines LP.

I was just suprised cause I didn't think the Voice of the Heart came in that kind of vinyl. That's why I wanted to get everyone opinion to what you have.
