Frequently Asked Questions
Is the XX - Coexist (Mint Green Vinyl LP) a good purchase for vinyl collectors?
Yes. This Mint Green LP is a strong pick for collectors because it is a physical pressing of The XX's second studio album released Sep 10, 2012 on the Young label and presented here as a limited-colour turquoise/mint edition. That combination of an established release date, the original album identity, and a colored limited pressing gives the item clear provenance and visual rarity that collectors value. The pressing’s LP format preserves the album’s original track sequencing and artwork, which matters for cataloguing and display. Collectors who focus on indie pop, limited-run pressings, or band discographies will benefit most. Note that collector value can depend on pressing numbers, condition, and whether the sleeve and inner materials are original, so condition grading and any edition notes on the product page are important for long-term value.
Will the mint green LP sound good on a mid-range turntable?
Yes. The Coexist Mint Green LP will sound good on a properly set up mid-range turntable because it is a standard 12-inch LP format that plays at the standard LP speed and carries the album’s mastering for vinyl playback. Three practical reasons: the record’s analog grooves reproduce the album’s minimalist arrangements and intimate vocals with natural warmth; a mid-range cartridge and correct tracking force will reveal detail and stereo imaging in sparse mixes; and routine setup steps such as level alignment and anti-skate adjustment reduce distortion and surface noise. Listeners who enjoy indie pop, nuanced vocal presentation, and room-filling midrange will benefit most. For critical reference listening, high-mass turntables or audiophile 180g black pressings may offer marginally lower surface noise.
How should I care for and store the Mint Green Coexist vinyl to keep it in the best condition?
Handle and store the record carefully. Always remove and hold the LP by its outer edges and the labeled center to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface, and return it to its inner sleeve before placing it back in the outer jacket. Store vertically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to avoid warping; keep humidity moderate to prevent sleeve and cardboard damage. Clean with an anti-static brush before and after play and use a carbon-fiber brush or recommended record-cleaning solution for deeper cleaning; proper cleaning reduces surface noise and stylus wear. These steps preserve sound quality and lifespan for collectors, regular listeners, and gift recipients. Avoid heavy-handed record cleaning machines unless you follow manufacturer guidance, because aggressive methods can damage delicate surfaces.
Is the mint green pressing an original 2012 release or a later limited edition pressing?
This album, Coexist, was originally released on Sep 10, 2012 on the Young label; the listing for the Mint Green LP indicates a colored limited edition pressing of that album. That means the recording and album identity trace to the 2012 release, while the colored vinyl format represents a specific pressing variant rather than changing the album’s original release date. Buyers who need exact pressing information for cataloguing or valuation should check the product details and matrix/runout inscriptions on the vinyl, as some colored pressings are issued later for special runs. Collectors seeking an original black 2012 pressing or a particular mastering should compare matrix numbers and edition notes, because pressing-run differences can affect rarity and sound characteristics.
How does colored vinyl like this mint green pressing compare to standard black vinyl for audio quality?
Colored vinyl can sound very similar to black vinyl, but there are some measurable differences to consider. Colored pressings are made with pigments that can slightly alter material consistency, and some listeners and tests report marginally higher surface noise or a different noise floor compared with standard black pressings pressed with carbon black, which can improve rigidity and reduce static. The mint green pressing offers a strong visual and collectible advantage, and for most listeners the musical detail, dynamics, and tonal balance of a well-pressed copy will be excellent. Audiophiles who prioritize the absolute lowest surface noise and maximum physical stability sometimes prefer heavyweight black pressings, while collectors and fans who value appearance and album ownership will find the colored pressing most satisfying.
Will this LP play on my automatic or USB turntable?
Yes. The Coexist Mint Green LP is a standard 12-inch long-play record and will play on any turntable that supports 12-inch LPs at the standard 33 1/3 RPM. Automatic turntables with correct arm operation, tonearm lift, and cartridge compatibility can play the record as long as the stylus condition and tracking force are properly set. For USB turntables, the LP will play and can be digitized, but sound quality will depend on the turntable’s preamp and analog-to-digital conversion. Casual listeners and people digitizing a collection will benefit most from convenience, while audiophiles concerned with capture fidelity may prefer a higher-grade analog rig and external ADC for better results.
Who is this Mint Green Coexist vinyl best suited for?
This Mint Green Coexist vinyl is best suited for fans of The XX, collectors of indie pop vinyl, and listeners who appreciate intimate, minimalist production presented on a physical format. The LP format preserves the album’s original sequencing and artwork, and the limited-colour pressing adds visual appeal for display and collecting. It also suits people who prefer a tactile listening experience and value album liners and artwork as part of the music presentation. Those seeking maximum audiophile fidelity or the absolute quietest surface noise might prefer heavyweight reference pressings, but most listeners and collectors will find this edition delivers the musical and aesthetic qualities that make The XX’s Coexist a compelling vinyl purchase.
Is colored vinyl more fragile or more prone to damage than regular vinyl?
No, colored vinyl is not inherently more fragile than standard vinyl, but there are practical differences to keep in mind. The manufacturing process for colored pressings uses pigments that can make some color runs feel slightly different under inspection, and some collectors report that surface imperfections or visible dust may be more noticeable on colored surfaces. Durability under normal handling and storage is comparable to black vinyl when you follow standard care: hold by edges, keep in inner sleeves, store vertically, and avoid heat. Collectors, frequent players, and gift buyers will benefit from this care guidance. If pristine audio performance and the lowest possible surface noise are critical, consider checking the pressing’s weight and test reports or seeking a heavyweight black pressing for comparison.
How can I inspect and test the LP when it arrives to confirm condition and playback quality?
Inspecting immediately on arrival is recommended. First, examine the outer jacket and inner sleeve for seam splits, water stains, or seam wear. Remove the LP and hold it by the edges and labeled center; check the playing surface under good light for visible scratches, scuffs, or warps by looking along the groove lines. Next, play a few tracks: listen for excessive clicks, pops, or tracking issues and confirm both channels are present and balanced. Measuring a slight background noise is normal for vinyl, but severe crackling or audible warps that affect tracking indicate damage. This routine benefits collectors and regular listeners who want to verify condition; keep packaging for returns and document any defects with photos if you need to report damage.
What musical or packaging features make Coexist worth owning on vinyl rather than just streaming?
Owning Coexist on vinyl is worthwhile for listeners who value analog warmth, the album’s intimate production, and physical artwork. The record’s sparse arrangements and close-miked vocals often reveal more texture and presence on analog playback, where vinyl’s harmonic character can enhance midrange warmth and sense of space. The LP also includes physical artwork, sleeve design, and any liner notes that are absent in streaming, which matters for fans and collectors. Audiophiles who prefer the transparency and convenience of digital may choose streaming for portability, but collectors and devoted listeners benefit from the tactile engagement and analog soundstage that a well-pressed LP provides.
