Guest farnsbarns Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Could someone who has vinyl close to hand please let me know what a double album weighs in grams. I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Edit: I know they'll be different but I need a ballpark figure based on actually weighing one and I need it quick so I thought someone here could probably help.

Riffster Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I just weighed Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow original Finyl Vinyl (2 LPs and cover) and all it weights exactly 400 grams. In comparison Hot Tuna's Steady as She Goes which is also double and on 180gram vinyl weighs 560 grams including the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had just returned to say the album in question has been weighed and I no longer needed it but I really appreciate your efforts. The album in question is not released yet but is on pre-order so it would have been tricky to get hold of one personally but my customer finally got back to me. Seems it's a heavy one at 650g, it's a limited run deal so I guess it has heavy packaging. Thanks so much though. Very kind of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 You are welcome, and wow that is a hefty album, that's gotta be 180gram records and maybe has a booklet in the packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I remember going to album swaps and recall some albums were designated in grams. Apparently, the heavier the disc, the better the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy R Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 My Girlfriend usually always gets me some kind of music related gift for christmas. This year and "out of the blue" it was a turntable ( pure and simple... no USB etc..) and original vinyl of : Led Zeppelin - In Through The Out Door AC/DC -Highway To Hell Rush - 2112 and Cheap Trick - Dream Police She is awesome!

Riffster Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Really most double albums are only 275 grams, I guess the fact that Ritchie plays some seriously heavy riffs added some weight to that record..... Jus sayin I weighed the albums cover and all, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
