So I'm completely new at this and don't know much about records or collecting or anything but my uncle collects them.

He said there's a black and white colourway of the True Colours vinyl but I can't find that anywhere and think maybe he means black and silver?

Does anyone know all the colourways and what countries etc they belong to? Or could you point me to where I could find it?

I found a black and silver colourway I paid around $50 for. Wondering if it's the black and white one so I can give it to him to add to his collection.

Thanks so much and sorry if it's already been done but I couldn't find it.

there were a very limited number of black and white covers that came with enz penz to colour it in, according to "Letters To My Frenz" only 100 were made. The black and silver cover would be quite rare also I imagine

I have a copy of a Black and Silver one. It was a special edition to celebrate, I think, going gold. There were 2500 of them made and each one was numbered. I have number 557.
Was there another black and silver release?

The different covers of True Colours has been discussed before a few times, but this link might be of some help.

Thanks so much for the help.

The silver one I just got is a numbered one too, it's from the 80's to commemorate the 30,000 sold [something like that].

Mine is 2496 of 2500.

The B&W True Colours cover also came with several coloured Enz Penz (a red and green one we have but truly can't remember if there were other coloured penz).

At one stage, in the very very very early days of the club we had a few dozen of the B&W covers autographed by the guys.

I have to say the last B&W cover I spotted was sold for around $500 mark so yes rare! That was many years ago.

Good news is that one (partially signed) will be on the Auction list (fundraiser to get Mental Notes Gold) ... will be with the next newsletter... some fun stuff.

I managed to snag one of these in excellent condition yesterday, but it is in the black/silver/tan colourway.

The border is black, the background is silver, then then "E" is coloured in white, and the "N" and "Z" are coloured in light tan. After I'd paid for it, I found myself hoping that its not a fake. Eeker Cool I had never heard of this colour combination.

I'm told that this is one of the harder ones to get (although not as rare as the black and white) and that is was a Yellow Label, which apparently means that it was one of the earlier releases.

It was also confirmed for me yesterday that black and white is extremely difficult to come by. The guy where I bought my copy said he has only had about 2 B&W through his shop in the 10 years that he's been there.

I've always wanted to collect these different colours but would only do it if I could get covers in really, really good condition.

Can't wait for this auction... Big Grin

A black and white that's rare anyway would be even more unique with some sigs on it. Eeker
