Dynaflex albums

[jazzman21]

I have a couple of these albums and they are extremely thin, I mean any time I go to pick them up, they wobble like crazy. Does anyone else experience this? Please post your comments good/bad about these type of albums?

I remember at the time they came out they were touted as being better quality than the regular vinyl albums. I don't remember the reason, but it didn't make a lot of sense to me.

Having said that, I never had a problem with them either.

I still have an album by John Mayall on Polydor ("Back to the Roots") that's on ultra-thin vinyl. It isn't specifically called Dynaflex, but it's probably the same technology.

I don't think they issued Dynaflex in the UK, but I have always gone on the simple basis of the heavier the vinyl the better the quality (all other variables being the same). I thought that the lightweight vinyl was supposed to build up some sort of resonance, because the lower mass was more prone to pick up and reflect back the vibrations from the stylus. But maybe that is damped out by a decent mat

At the time (circa 1970), it was my belief that Dynaflex was a trademark of RCA.
