tracking down all 50 Grey Vinyl Black Albums

Because there are only 50 grey colored black album copies around I was wondering where they all are. Are they only in California of spread equally around the world.

(that's the 1994 promotional release that came along with the 300 white ones and 1000 peach)

Who has a copy and what number... Maybe I can set up a site with photo's of all 50 (if they are supplied).

biggrin

The grey vinyl promo of The Black Album was limited to 50 copies.
Dualboot gave us an idea, so we posted the pictures we have in a
handy little list. Please help us completing this list :

original from 1990? It only came out in '88 and then '94. Right? I thought all others were bootlegs.
