A few years ago I mentioned the idea to track down all 50 grey marbled vinyl of the black album. Due to fysical problems with my hand I couldn't execute the plan.
Yormeister picked it up and compiled a very cool list with a suprising twist.

Then also the 300 whites came in focus. That idea lingered in the corners of my mind.

Now I have taken up the gloves and founded an focal point for all Black Album releases info.
Even to warn people for the fakes that float around for instance ebay and amazon.

url: http://www.theblackalbum.info

At this point it's still under construction and in need of pictures and numbers but it already provides some info and pictures.

We need pictures and numbers of the GREY MARBLED and WHITE releases.
Please help us with this list and tracking down all numbers and send us good quality pictures of the records and ofcourse also the label. It's important that the number is clearly visible. When you have a copy and don't want your name mentioned we can put anonymous on the site with the number (and maybe a picture of the record).

Info and other views on it's cancellation are also welcome.

email: info@theblackalbum.info

Thanks
Eric

If you got the time I got the ride

I made a cassette recording of a friends vinyl Black Album(I believe
this took place in 1992)that had as the extra songs: When 2 R N Love
and Another Lonely Christmas (w/ extra lyrics and guitar solo).
What release were these songs on? I've never read anything with
these songs being part of the track list. I remember loving this
version of ALC that I recorded it twice.

When 2 R in Love was not an extra song. It was integral part of the album as 4th song on the a-side.

ALC has never been part of an official BA release. My guess it's the extened 12"and I assume at this point that it was incorperated by someone on a bootleg.

Are there any new facts brought to light?

Rare acetates or colored vinyl from 1987 instead of 1994?

Not yet. I've tried to contact someone about the acetates but no response yet.

As far as I know there is no proof of an official colored release in 1987. Only a bootleg one.

Cool,thanks!

When you are a sitemaster or member of a community like bay area of motorbabies please consider posting or linking to my site. Thanks. I need you to reach out to those collectors and interested ones who don't come around here that much.

Great site!

At this point the bootleg warning section is quite empty. There must be more boots going round... any info and pics welcome

Feel free to send it your description of songs. I can put a review part for every song and corresponding entries.
