Black album appears to be the same as the Red album, only spread over 2 disc's.
The White album appears to be the definitive Contraband to go for 

[Neemo]

i think those are 3 different releases of the same album....each one was released in 3 different cover arts


i think

[Eazy E]

There were different releases of Contraband, but the colours don't mean anything.

I'm not sure where you got those tracklists from....

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I have the white album and it only has 14 tracks. Bodies being the 14th.   

[Tatu]

You forgot to put "Bodies".. at least i have it

[Mr Bootlegs]

Yea there's the Tour edition as well, which has the 13 main contraband songs (minus bodies), and then acoustic fall to pieces, no more no more (aerosmith cover), and also surrender (CT cover)

[Juanjay]

there's one with "Negative Creep" on it

[KOK]

Yeah they really tried every trick in the book in selling Contraband

[polluxlm]

The idea?

$$$

[mrlee]

the idea is simply money lol.

They originally put out three versions of the same album because they couldn't agree on what color looked the best.... 


Some markets got bonus tracks, such as the UK with "Bodies".

The album has been re-released with a bonus disk. As far as I know, that had nothing to do with the color. All albums with the white cover don't have the bonus track(s) etc.

haha i never knew that, thanks for the fact jarmo!

I think Scott had said he didnt agree with it, and the re-releases were about money for the record company. Remember 2003-04 record companys were freaking out about filesharing. Who knows if they still are, and if they still maximize revenue from re-releasing everything. i dont buy CD's anymore?

Amazon. Click on the red lines at the bottom of each track listing.

I still think its dumb to release a 2 CD version. Spreading 1CD's worth of metrial across 2CD's makes no sense.

[redx]

I liked the red cover best, and at ?5.97 who needs the extra tracks or the 2CD limited edition
