Hi there! I know this is probably a long shot, but I'm looking for the vinyl of "True Colours" with the pink sleeve if anyone has a copy to sell?
The quality of the vinyl itself isn't of great concern (I have a copy that I can play already); I'm looking for one with a sleeve in excellent condition that I can frame. It's the only one I need to complete my collection of TC album sleeves!
If anyone has a copy they are willing to part with, please let me know!

FYI I have three different variations of the pink True Colours -
1 has orange triangles
2. has yellow triangles
3. black triangles
I assume the latter one must have been a printing error, and there must have been a small number done like this. Interestingly it is missing the L37167 number on top rear right, though it's present on the spine like the others.
Not for sale but just in case this is news as to what's out there!

Oooh, do you have pics? I'd love to see the possible printing error! Do you have all of the colours?

Does anybody know for sure, just how many different colour combos there are? There seem to be more out there than I thought. I wasn't aware a pink with black triangles - very cool if that is a printing error. There won't be many of them!
Some of the shades seem quite different too - I'm not sure if it has been caused by some colour fading over the years, if some covers just came out of the printers slightly different, or if it was intended.
I would be keen to know how many different colour combos people have. I think I have over 10 different vinyl colour combos, but would need to get them out of the collection to check.
I have a ridiculous 33 copies of True Colours! (1-11 are Australian)
1. Pink and yellow triangles
2. Pink with orange triangles
3. Pink with black triangles
4. Black and White
5. Purple with yellow triangles
6. Blue with orange triangles
7. Silver and Gold
8. Yellow and Blue
9. Lime Green and pink triangles
10. Yellow and pink triangles
11. Yellow with red triangles (laser etched)
+ variant of 11 , Sample, variant with rear statement printed in white in the blue top border "Unique laser etched Record...)
+ variant of 11 , Yellow with red triangles (RED vinyl / laser etched test pressing)
12. NZ Silver numbered
13-15 NZ Purple, Red and Blue covers
16. NZ red cover, on Black Enz Records label
17. NZ Black Mushroom design L37167 in Aust Blue cover
18-21 Japan Yellow, Blue, Red and Purple covers with obi
22. Argentina Colores Vendaderos (blue)
23. Southern Rhodesia (White A&M, blue cover)
24. South Africa (A&M blue cover)
25. Germany Blue cover
26. Phillippines (yellow and Blue)
27. Malaysia / Hong Kong (yellow and blue)
28 Canada Purple with gold border
29. Holland Blue cover laser etched
Various signed editions from NZ
I do have a couple things like the NZ red covers and blue covers which used noticeably different colour tones .
Re Aust copies 9 and 10 - this may be a unintended colour variation. The yellow is not quite as yellow 11, but it's hugely different to the green colour.
Happy to put up pics but I don't know how.

Wow! Thanks for posting that. That’s really impressive, especially the the red vinyl etched test pressing - very cool!
I think it's safe to say a whole lot of us are very VERY jealous of that collection! Do you have them on display somewhere?
I too would be fascinated to see pictures of those pink covers. You should be able to upload photos to the Facebook page, by clicking on the icon at the top of the page, then 'sharing'....perhaps that would work?
