	Fokeman I used to have a good memory but now I can't re Member since May 2011 5096 Points Moderator	Does anyone know why and how a glut of red vinyl hit the U.S. market in the late 1950s? Labels such as Library Of Congress, Stinson and other small, cash-strapped labels suddenly put everything out on Red, transparent vinyl. It can only have been because it was offered onto the market cheaply - more cheaply than the commonly used black vinyl and thus more profitable. None of these labels were frivolous enough to have chosen red vinyl for marketing purposes. I'd be very grateful if anyone can provide a satisfactory explanation for this bizarre phenomenon and its source. Edited by fokeman on 23rd Dec 2016, 4:20 PM
