Ben said they can't do 180g coloured vinyl, we've not had an all black LP since Vault 8.

Aren't the Doc reissues colored vinyl 180g?

I'm not sure, although I did just re-read the quote and when he said they can't do 180g he was talking about the split colours so maybe it's just those and not the full one-colour LPs.

The docs are definitely heavier. 180g, I'm not sure of, but definitely heavy.

I think they can do colored, not splits.

I don't have any albums on colored vinyl that are 180g, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible, I'm sure there are probably some out there. Though I do have an all black Vault LP that's not Vault 8...

The documents are definitely heavier than the black and blues and the colored Vaults. Not sure if they are 180 gram but they hold up good and lay flat. I so wish they would do the Vaults in thicker vinyl. If the black and blues cant be made thicker than just make them blue. Tired of records that look like a roller coaster while spinning on my turntable.

Picked up the regular black 180g version today. Same plates as the RSD version which were V2 plates with the matrix scratched out.

Weights:
Original Disc 2 - 126g
RSD Disc 2 - 139g
Black Reissue Disc 2 - 195g

The 180 gram records from TMR have consistently been in the 180-200g range.
