UPDATE 2 Finally got the Red Control Vinyl but they're Warped I'm waiting to see if the vendor will make this right. The clear ones have been the best so far. I've been Djing for 20 years i know when something is wrong. My Technics are calibrated like a swiss time piece. I have the original butter rugs & the serato both are about the same as well as theDr. Suzuki 12 with the Slip Sheets like we used to make back in the day. Great service from Amazon who's made it right every time. But i won't mention the Vendor who sent the Warped Red ones until they have a chance to send me a new pair.UPDATE: I ordered Red Control Vinyls 3 times & got clear I even asked someone else to order me a pair of Red Control Vinyls & they sent Clear that time too. This last time i ordered a pair of like new figuring they must have verified that they were Red & unbelievably they were Clear. It says on the box they come in what the color is. Basically they said i should buy from somewhere else. One vender has Red but those are $40 with shipping. Nobody from Amazon will contact me about the issue. So i literally can't get Red Control Vinyl from Amazon right now. Other then that the Control Vinyl itself is great.Not as slippery as a battle record or Color/Clear Control Vinyls which provide less friction with a decent slipmat. That said they're good Basic Serato Control Vinyls, threy will get the job done & if you're just using them mainly to mix they're probably better for that situation. If you're a Scratch DJ or turntablist get the clear/color ones with a good slipmat & slip sheets.
