I have one that is black on what should be the silver side. Can’t for the life of me remember what band it is though. I’ve only the one and it gave me quite a surprise when I opened up the box.

I have some Wishbone Ash ones (collectors editions) that are black. I thought the same as you that they would not play. But they work just fine and good sound to boot.

My copy of Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet is black on both playing and label side, sounds excellent. Didn’t think that black on black was that popular though.

On the recommendation of the German HiFi magazine Stereo I bought a couple of boxes of BASF black CD-R blanks. They were supposed to sound better. Initially, I was very pleased with the recordings made, but they have not aged well. Several have become unplayable, a problem that I have not had with cheap CD-Rs from Woolworths!
