Does anyone have images of the various officially produced versions of the Black Album? I'm talking about 1987 official cds, tapes, vinyl, promos, 1994 reissue vinyl, promos, etc. I am looking for as much visual information I can find about the various issues or non-issues of the album as possible. I'm not interested in anything bootleg though, although if I remember correctly the Noir69 vinyl version was one of the best bootleg versions of the album produced in it's time. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Visual Information ?

It was black. All over. With no writing or anything. Images are going to be kind of boring to look at.

OK, sorry for taking the piss. I don't actually have any info for you. There was a thread some time ago with images of the original bootleg vinyl, the official release etc. Can't find it though.

There's information on angelfire about the various bootleg versions, but you won't find any info on official releases in there, plus there's only scans of the covers on there (and sometimes not even that).

I've seen 3 different versions.

CDs: All black with orange print on the disc.
All black with sticker on the front that says "Prince, The Black Album"

Vinyl: Black with a pitice of Prince on the front. Prince The Black Album in pink on the sticker.

That is a Bootleg. If you take off the sticker it says Nelson.
