I'm on a Turntable group on FB where this was posted. What am I missing?

Yep, it is black through the addition of carbon. I asked him for a citation to support that there was iron in a "black dye" added to vinyl while providing a link to what black vinyl really consisted of. Crickets.Iron?? Always thought it was carbon black. Maybe confusing static electricity charging and attraction with magnetics??

And anyway, if records contained iron particles, wouldn't they rust?
Maybe only indirectly. Perhaps the OP on Facebook?Is this thread related to the cannabis one?
I came across this nonsense on the Steve Hoffman site years ago. I asked my daughter if she could devise an experiment to test if my hundreds of records were magnetized. She suspended a sewing needle from a wooden dowel that rested on top of the shelving unit holding about four hundred LPs with a ruler on the floor to measure any deflection of the needle from vertical as she slid the dowel back onto the shelf so that the needle got closer to the records. Even from less than an eight of an inch, there was no measurable deflection. Nor could a couple of dozen records out of their sleeves deflect a compass needle with the compass almost touching the LPs. She suggested we could buy a gauss meter, but at that point neither of us really cared anymore. She was eleven years old at the time.
