[78-L] I didn't know that 8" Lang-Worth discs came in black vinyl too

[Robert M. Bratcher Jr.]

I won this auction & just received my purchase in the mail.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370389766073&_trksid=p2759.l1259

However the disc I received was in black opaque vinyl with yellow 
background/black print labels instead of the dark brown (perhaps 
gold) background/black print  transparent blue vinyl disc as shown in 
the auction photo. Correct songs & record number, just different 
colored vinyl. I thought the 8" issues were always blue? Btw, I'm not 
mad at the seller or anything & will keep the disc since it's in 
excellent condition plus it comes with the original sleeve. Sounds 
great with a 2.3 mil stylus on both NAB curve (the way it was 
recorded) plus it also sounds very good when played with RIAA curve. 
I guess the 2 curves are somewhat close to each other......

In case your wondering I asked the seller if he (or she) still has 
the blue vinyl issue of this record still available as I'd like to 
purchase it also if the seller has one. Also I'm going to leave some 
good (positive) feedback as the record was packed very well & arrived 
quickly by first class mail after I paid for it.

Oh & I just got this reply from the seller & he is correct. When I 
held the disc up to a light it was a beautiful translucent blue!! But 
I thought the discs were lighter in color when viewed normally & not 
under a light. This one is very dark & looks black. The first 8" 
Lang-Worth I've ever owned. One question though, are the 16" 
Lang-Worth discs a dark (transparent under a light) blue too or are 
they 100% black vinyl?

Hold it up to the light- That's how I got it to look like 
that-  They're all made that way-
I have a friend who has 2 by Frankie Carle & they're just like that-
