The use of red vinyl not only serves a practical purpose but also has aesthetic reasons. The deep red color gives the record a striking and unique look that stands out from traditionally black records. The color of the vinyl has no influence on the sound quality of the record. The decisive criterion for the sound of a record is the quality of the vinyl material used and the care taken in the production of the record.

The use of red vinyl for Japanese pressings can further increase the appeal of these releases to collectors. In Japan, many important and popular albums have been released on red vinyl over the years. These range from classic rock to J-pop to jazz and other genres. Examples include albums by artists such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles, David Bowie and many others.
