ok - that is not from the box set... the game vinyl is supposed to be a light grey... not black... so that was a posting from the single disc versions.[/QUOTE]
Nope. it's from the boxset and it IS grey, not black.
The photo is a bit deceiving.

IMO it seems completely implausible that after pressing 17 other uniformly coloured records, they intentionally made one look like it's been in a pizza oven.
And given these coloured LPs have been largely produced for aesthetic appeal, coupled with the fact that the individual LPs can't be replaced, it's pretty poor. Particularly when it's a freaking expensive item.
You'd would have hoped a little more care was taken.

The sad thing is this doesn't surprise me at all.

Are there any viable official Queen contacts where one might get a response to an issue such as this?
It's all very well to contact the retailer / place of purchase (which obviously you have to), but they can only refund or replace the box in its entirety. And if you've purchased it online, which many have, that becomes incredibly problematic.
How do you make QPL aware there's an issue that needs to be dealt with?

QPL are off the radar, they are in a solid gold house somewhere having a great laugh at the mugs who have bought all the albums again......

That's what mine looks like. I don't actually mind that much as the patterning is IN the vinyl and won't affect playback in any way.
Obviously they had a batch of tablets where the colour wasn't uniform. Interesting that (so far) it's "The Game" which is affected.

Yikes. Somebody screwed up. Sadly I think it makes good sense not to be in early on Queen releases, never buy the first batch, give them a month or so to correct the errors and then purchase them. :)

Well you say that, but I bet the process will have been automated in a plant in Germany somewhere and "random" QC checks won't have found anything.
I'd love to know how many of these boxsets have been made, but you can bet they're not "Limited" runs.

According to Gary, it's intentional. [url=https://youtube.com/watch?v=SDfWtNUCZ7I]https://youtube.com/watch?v=SDfWtNUCZ7I[/url]

If it was pressed in Germany. it shouldn`t be too hard to track down the company.
