Now, this says clear version but I'm fairly certain it isn't. Does anyone smarter than me know any way to confirm my suspicions?

Apropos of very little I preordered "The Tipping Point" from Amazon as it was initially listed as the translucent gold version. However, by the time it was shipped the listing had been altered to instead be the standard black version but being Amazon they woulda taken it back had I cared enough about the color to return it. I would assume it's gonna be the standard black and then be pleasantly surprised if it turns out to be the clear version.

The clear is available at other outlets around the same price so I don’t see why this wouldn't be the clear.

Bull Moose has it up for one The Roots - Things Fall Apart

Copy the UPC from the Bullmoose site and paste it into Amazon's search bar. It should take you to the right product. 👍

Yeah this is exactly what I did last night and it does take me to the Amazon one HOWEVER I can't find a UPC for the black version so I can't be sure it's correct yet haha FACK. It seems very odd that Amazon is only listing the clear version...
 
The black vinyl thumbnail could just be a lazy intern, or a graphic artist with no attention to detail - or one who was told to mock it up months ago before vinyl color was decided.

To be fair, someone higher up signed off on it... so there's that.

Yeah I've got images and listings for the black but no UPC code anywhere...

This is the image on Amazon that I get when I put in that "clear' UPC

Ugh. Amazon.ca is the worst for trying to figure out what version you are getting. UPC is usually the best way to go and then return it if it's wrong.

Just to add to the confusion, is it all the same cover art? I remember when Things Fall Apart first came out there were four different covers (and I got a promo t-shirt too), but now it seems to just be the civil rights photo.

EDIT: I didn't imagine it. There were five different CD covers (Civil Rights Riot, Bloody Ace, Burned Out Church, Crying Girl, and Baby in Rubble). Man, 90s limited ed. CD culture was the best.
