Just found this at a local shop and the vinyl is basically a marble grey, definitely none of the listed variants. Anyone also come across this?

If anyone has ever wondered where the sampled voice tracks in "The Minus Times" and "Red Sea" are from, its from episode 3 (Blackout) of a mini series called Hotel Room directed by David Lynch in 1993 for HBO.

Ordering one of the last eight copies of this made me a pretty happy man. I don't normally care for coloured vinyl, but modern coloured pressings aren't bad at all. Granted, these early tracks by Isis weren't recorded or produced to a high standard in the first place, but it's still a perfectly listenable affair. Worth grabbing if you're a fan of the band, or a collector of limited records.

I have this. Mine isn't Translucent at all. It's solid colours. Can some else confirm before amending.I've added photos.

Opaque Red / Opaque Grey - It's more hot pink/grey.
