funny, I have promos of these on super-heavy black vinyl...

I've seen copies of these records in various colors. I'm assuming yours are
black. There are also white, grey, and various shades of in between. Some
of the swirly ones came out really well, definitely worth bringing to the
consumer's attention by displaying them as such...

There's a relationship, no matter how subtle, between thickness and surface
noise, pressing volume and frequency response. With colored vinyl most
plants will ask for two sets of stampers, assuring for a better quality
record at the end of the run (less chance of bad records pressed from caked
stampers by having two sets...). There's also the point of purity. There's
dye in colored vinyl, so there's less girth to a colored record than a pure
clear record (apparently all black vinyl is dyed such, for what reason...).
