This vinyl was sold in millions of copies worldwide and even though most people accredit this to michael s sheer name audiophiles beg to differ namely the thriller sounds so ahead of its time that it could easily pass as a legit quality record by today s standards.

Thriller picture vinyl sound quality. A few exceptions exist. This is a real pleasure to listen to. Picture disks on vinyls are absolutely horrible. I really love how that guitar sounds towards of jillie bean wow.

I have not heard any of the other vinyl releases but i cannot imagine that they are any better. Pressing a picture disc is a little different to standard black or colored records. The result is a vinyl record that typically suffers from increased surface noise and overall lower quality sound. I am in the middle of an argument with a fellow vinyl enthusiast as to whether there is any difference in sound quality between coloured vinyl ie non black vinyl and ordinary black vinyl my friend says he thinks coloured vinyl results in poorer sound quality but i have to disagree i own many coloured vinyl records and cant hear any difference i have found some picture discs to be of a poorer.

Buy them for the image because the sound is lost in translation. Does anyone know how to id whether it s a normal black record or a picture disk. The drums sound great. The modern disc is usually made with a vinyl core sandwiched between two full sized labels and then covered with a translucent film.

Picture discs are still popular today and depending on who you ask many argue the quality has improved. The bass is great every layer of every song is so vivid and fresh. It usually doesn t say it anywhere on the packaging. It s a total hybrid.

Very few additives can be mixed into clear vinyl without jeopardizing the opacity which means there is a potential for worse sound quality albeit this drop is often imperceptible to the common listener. One of vinyl s great benefits is sound quality but which records bring out the best in the format. Btw i am using a 2m black cartridge. The records always skip and the sound quality is muffled.
