Yeah, they're not meant to be made to any specific weight...

Totally agreed!!! Thank you Bulby. I have several dubplates which ain't made from vinyl at all but made from acetate (I Think) they are a lot heavier.

Vinyl quality
The sound quality and durability of vinyl records is highly dependent on the quality of the vinyl. During the early 1970s, as a cost-cutting move towards use of lightweight, flexible vinyl pressings, much of the industry adopted a technique of reducing the thickness and quality of vinyl used in mass-market manufacturing, marketed by RCA Victor as the "Dynaflex" (125 g) process, considered inferior by most record collectors.[27] Most vinyl records are pressed on recycled vinyl.
New "virgin" or "heavy" (180–220 g) vinyl is commonly used for modern "audiophile" vinyl releases in all genres. Many collectors prefer to have 180 g vinyl albums, and they have been reported to have a better sound than normal vinyl. These albums tend to withstand the deformation caused by normal play better than regular vinyl[citation needed]. 180 g vinyl is more expensive to produce and requires higher-quality manufacturing processes than regular vinyl.
please read up before slateing! 180g is the correct weight for a vinyl...

The majority of records vary in thickness and weight, a perfect example of this it is very rare to find and hip hop vinyls that are pressed on to thick vinyl (excluding LP's)

I still personally feel that what your saying is a load of Knackers. Just cos Wikipedia says that it don't mean its true. Maybe commercial chart music yeah but i can guarantee all my vinyl ways different weights.

I don't think anyone is missing the point tbh mate. Records aren't supposed to be made to any weight. Don't know where ya info is from but it's duff.
Thicker records are better though providing the pressing is good. Not gonna argue with that.

Dude when is wikipedia ever correct, vinyl can be anything, most vinyl is 140g, some cheap vinyl (like the ones you got in the 80's) are 120grams, 180 is more expensive but does sound better because you can achieve deeper grooves but with DMM 140g is fine. I would rather a 140g with a DMM press than a 180g without. I don't know any hardcore that is pressed on 180.

I think that pretty much clears it up. Thanks Silver.

I agree. Like i said in my earlier post. Just cos it's on Wikipedia don't mean it's correct. I've had wrong info from there before.
