True Colours

A new morning poll for X users celebrating coloured vinyl singles.

The following criteria applies.

✅ 7″ and 12″ single releases

✅ Worldwide releases

✅ Re-releases on coloured vinyl

✅ EP’s

🔀 Demos

🔀 Promos

🔀 Flexis

🔀 Bootlegs

🔀 Shaped vinyl

🔀 Picture discs

So you can see it’s exclusively dedicated to coloured vinyl and thanks to the 45Cat database who list entries for all colours, it has made my work in cross-referencing a lot easier as I work my way through the spectrum.

I’m hand picking songs but the songs suggested by X followers will all be included.
