Crystal-clear vinyl records look so neat that you’d want to show them off to your grumpy father-in-law so he’ll start loving you. It’s no wonder they’re usually the #1 choice for special editions. The clear disc has a bad reputation of having a lesser sound quality than the black vinyl, that is not true if you choose a good vinyl pressing company. Clear vinyl pressings use top quality vinyl but require some special techniques and formulations to produce well (therefore use Unified Manufacturing!).
Check out these beauties if you need a bit of inspiration for a clear vinyl record:
