Eco-mix vinyl production means using leftover wax already in the factory so that each record is different and the colour is completely random and unique! It’s also more environmentally friendly as it’s using up material that would otherwise be thrown away! Last time we had beautiful blues, vibrant reds, glowing greens and everything in between. Think of it as a lucky dip - each one is completely unique.
