Some of the re-issue CBS records, depending on the thickness of the vinyl, are a translucent brown vinyl when held to light. I have indicated below the most obvious ones.

Record is quite brown on the A-side. I suspect that it was not pressed like this, but may have changed colour over time as a result of being in contact with the PVC wallet of PAC I for a prolonged period of time. Something similar may account for the fully "brown" vinyls.
