Surely vinyl is not naturally black so unless such addition is beneficial to the medium why do we still accept it.
If it covers up manufacturing defects maybe thats even more reason to loose it.

If you want to hide manufacturing defects then coloured (non-black) vinyl and clear vinyl would be the way to go. Black vinyl would make them easier to spot in my experience.
