It's a good question Jon. I've cleaned the LP in my ultrasonic RCM and each side looked like it did beforehand.

When I v-ripped the LP the surface noise spectra differed considerably between the two sides, suggesting different friction perhaps?

Does cleaning (wet clean) the record have an affect on the matt finnish, just curious!!

I have just thought, I wonder it the stylus manufacturers were consulted on this new way of making records. I would hazard a guess "No"

Nice to see innovation like this.

Interesting point you make on harder records, I didn't think of that at the time, It could well be that your stylus will not last as long. If say your stylus life could be half of what it is now in the long run it would be a very expencive record or records to have. It would be very interesting to see what they have to say on this subject

I saw the BBC article on Sunday and was curious. It is a quirky name and I agree with Graham's point on that. The name PET Sounds had already gone of course!

Lower energy and cost could allow more records to be pressed but it would need to be quicker or have more presses running clearly. Green is good but the business model depends on overall demand for records staying high or even growing, keeping prices down on the PET records as Jon said.
