Hi Leggo Rocker
"And as for John Cooper Clarke's brilliant single 'Gimmix' b/w I married a monster.. it is dated 1978 - record number S-EPC-12-7009. I know, because I have it here, on Star Trek badge shaped orange vinyl in MINT condition!"
I lent that to someone and never got it back!! Bizarrely, I bumped into him recently, but forgot to mention it. Somehow I doubt it will be mint condtion. His kids probably used it as a frisbee!!!!!

I used to have a coloured (orange) 7" single of a couple of kiddies songs when I was about 5 so very early sixties... But I think if you check Rob Chapman's superb Downbeat Special site there are examples of 60s reggae coloured vinyl 7s (Studio 1 and associated labels). For lots of coloured 12s check Djax-Up-Beats (acid house freaks only!)

...or it could be the Dance Crasher site that has the reggae examples on 2nd thoughts.

Yes, it would probably make an awesome frisbee but I don't intend to try...

Leggo Rocker replied:
Yep, you were right, it seems coloured vinyl is almost as old as the format itself! (see JP's excellent link).

Hi Leggo Rocker
Definitely, don't try it! Funnily enough he going to be moving really near me! I am going to try and get it back.
I am about to check out JP's link now.

In once saw a red colored 12" from Joe Gibbs and the professionals.Produced in 1979.
I can't remember the exact name, but It sounded horrible.
