crispy black colour after I fished it out of the fire
Hey, come on. The album isn't that bad, is it? It's definitely not the most consistent out of the 80's Genesis albums, but it's got some pretty great tunes - No Reply At All, Abacab, Me And Sarah Jane, Dodo/ Lurker, Who Dunnit?, the only tracks I really enjoy to a certain degree.

Mine's navy blue. I know it's not the strongest album the band produced (not by a long chalk) but the first Genesis gig I attended was when they were touring the album shortly after its release. With the exception of Whodunnit, it's not a bad album (but certainly not a great one.)

Nope, All available everywhere
That was the case for the vinyl way back then, but was it ever for the CDs?? (never even thought to check)
I never owned Abacab, btw
Another album to which they did this was Split Enz's True Colours along with that laser etched vinyl (my fave version was the Blue and Yellow version)
(and in a different style: Zep's In Through The Outdoor)
let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

And the Police's Synchronicity. it had differen't colour stripes and different images in each strip making for a whole lotta differing album covers.
Good call, but only 3/4 correct...
the stripes were always blue, red and yellow, but sometimes switched places (well the yellow and the red... the blue always remained on top)... and in some countries, the stripe were vertical instead of horizontal... and indeed the pictures behind the coloured stripes were sometimes different as well

Wellllll it seems to me that if two out of three colours changed then I'm 2/3 right. and that's better t... um wait is two thirds more than three quaters? n/m then. I didnt know about the vertical stripes though, that's cool.

a good example that if you want to strongly critisize something, at least do it with humour and not offensively.
