I dont know how much do you know about vinyl but vinyl colours come into play when we talk about the sound quality and durability. The black vinyl usually has the least sound problems (less clicks and pops) and doesnt wear out so fast. Clear is probably the second best option, since vinyl material is always clear to begin with, all other colours are added to it (even black, I think).

But it all depends on the quality and the purity of the materials used, since sometimes black vinyl can sound worse than coloured vinyl too.


indeed, vinyl is clear from the get-go. however, some studies have found that the agents used to colour vinyl black actually add to the sound quality and durability of the vinyl. i would imagine Inside Out chose clear for their exclusives (i think it was this way for the Riverside vinyls too) because it's cheapest!

I have the same question.
Does anyone have any other Inside Out vinyl (Ayreon, Riverside etc)? Is it also made by the Back on Black?

Also, has anyone ordered vinyl straight from Inside Out store before? What kind of record mailers do they use? I believe the same ones as cmdistro.de - meaning, not the best ones?

PS I ordered also the Symphony X vinyls (black and coloured), so in total with DT it was 10 double records :)

I have all of the Riverside vinyl by Inside Out. They are not by Back on Black, but by some other company that is probably hired specifically for the vinyl pressings by IO.

I have ordered from CMDistro, which is the North American distributor, and the mailers worked great for me.

i doubt they reordered both albums so drastically. i can't find an email to contact on the Inside Out shop website, though, which led me to tweet them about it.

Those are definitely not the correct track orders.

Just look at the Symphony X - The Odyssey

Disc 1
01. Inferno (unleash The Fire) (05:32)
02. Accolade II (07:53)
03. King Of Terrors (06:19)
04. Wicked (05:32)
05. Incantations Of The Apprentice (04:22)
Disc 2
01. The Turning (04:44)
02. The Odyssey (24:13)
03. Awakenings (08:21)
04. Masquerade (bonustrack) (05:59)


Why put 28 minutes on music on side C and 14 minutes on side D...

That is not the tracklisting. Here is the correct tracklisting

1- A1: Inferno (unleash The Fire)
2- A2: Wicked
3- A3: Incantations Of The Apprentice
4- B1: Accolade II
5- B2: King Of Terrors
1- A1: The Turning
2- A2: Awakenings
3- B1: The Odyssey
4- B2: Masquerade (bonustrack)

I'm surprised that the official website doesn't have the right tracklisting. Unfortunately, this still doesn't solve long side B to the 2nd Vinyl.

Usually in these kind of cases, the sound engineer would recommend to put B2 as A3 because he wouldnt be able to cut such long side anyway. This album is super loud and compressed as it is, so putting 28 minutes of music on one side would be almost impossible.

CM Distro will be stocking these. I know the DTP Epicloud 2LP/CD should be up at their store by the end of this week so I'm guessing these should start popping up on the store around the end of this week or next week.
