Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Jamie XX In Colour 10th Anniversary Picture Disc worth buying for listening, or is it mainly a collector's item?
Yes — the 10th Anniversary Picture Disc is both a playable album and a collectible, but it leans toward collectors who also want to listen. The disc contains the full In Colour tracklist (the same songs that made the 2015 album influential), and it is manufactured as a 12-inch LP intended for standard playback, so you can enjoy tracks like "Loud Places" and "Gosh." At the same time, picture discs are produced with artwork embedded on the vinyl surface, which prioritizes visual presentation and often results in slightly higher surface noise and marginally reduced dynamic range compared with heavyweight black pressings. This release benefits fans, collectors, and anyone who values the visual presentation alongside the music. If you are an audiophile seeking the absolute best sonic fidelity, a standard black 180g pressing is typically the better option.
Will this picture disc play on my standard turntable?
Yes, the Jamie XX In Colour picture disc will play on a standard turntable. It is issued as a 12-inch LP meant to run at the normal long-play speed and is compatible with typical tonearms and cartridges. For best results, use a well-aligned cartridge with a clean stylus and reasonable tracking force, as picture discs can display a bit more surface noise than standard pressings. Proper setup and maintenance — correct anti-skate, accurate alignment, and regular cleaning with a carbon-fiber brush or record-cleaning solution — will minimize noise and wear. This makes the disc suitable for home Hi‑Fi listeners and collectors who plan to play their records; owners of very low-end, non-adjustable players may encounter more pronounced noise or tracking issues.
How does the 10th Anniversary picture disc edition differ from a regular vinyl edition of In Colour?
The main differences are visual presentation, manufacturing method, and collectible status. A picture disc has the album artwork printed directly on the vinyl surface beneath a clear layer, so the record is itself a visual item in addition to a music medium. This edition commemorates the album's tenth anniversary and often comes in limited quantities with unique artwork. Sonically, picture discs are typically pressed in a way that can introduce slightly higher surface noise and a modest reduction in dynamic range compared to standard black vinyl, which is why standard pressings are generally preferred by audiophiles. The music, track order, and featured collaborations remain the same, so this edition is best for fans who value the artwork and commemorative nature while still wanting to play the record.
Who should buy the Jamie XX In Colour 10th Anniversary Picture Disc?
This picture disc is best for collectors, dedicated fans of Jamie XX, and listeners who appreciate a strong visual presentation with their vinyl. It celebrates the 2015 In Colour album and includes collaborations that defined the record, making it appealing to those who want a commemorative copy or a display-worthy item. It is also suitable for home listeners who enjoy playing vinyl and want the album in a special edition. If your priority is maximum audio fidelity for critical listening, a standard heavyweight black pressing or a high-quality reissue may be a better fit. For people who value collectibility, artwork, and having a notable edition of an influential electronic album, this picture disc is well suited.
How should I care for and store the picture disc to preserve audio quality and the artwork?
Handle the picture disc by the edges and label to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface, and store it vertically in an anti-static inner sleeve and a protective outer jacket to prevent warping and surface damage. Clean before each play with a carbon-fiber brush and, when needed, use a gentle record-cleaning solution and lint-free cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Keep the record away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as picture discs — like other PVC records — can warp if exposed to high temperatures. These practices help maintain both sound quality and the printed artwork, and they are especially important for limited or collectible editions that you may want to preserve for display as well as playback.
