We sell everything in Brand New & Sealed condition. Because of this, we never open albums before shipping them, we only check to make sure they are in new condition. Manufacturers and record lables inform us what color of vinyl is in each sleeve, and we take their word for it. 99.9% of the time, this is accurate. Please note that colors can often vary. Shades of red and blue can be different from pressing to pressing, and we unfortunately have no control over that. We do our best to clearly mark all colored albums with the right varient. However, if you order a color album and a black color arrives, please do let us know. We will do our best to find the cause of this issue.
