First Tri-Color

Featured in the book Extraordinary Records, the African Pirates 12" by Nightmares On Wax is my first tri-color vinyl.  It's also my first cloudy vinyl.  A few music forum members suggest this is what happens when records packaged in clear PVC sleeves are stored under fluorescent lights: the UV rays cause the vinyl to react where it has contact with exposed sleeves (but not where the sleeve was protected from the light, like under a sticker).  Play hasn't been effected since the grooves weren't in contact with the sleeve.


Above is my copy, below is what it should look like, taken by Groovaholic on flickr.
