I recenlty came over on Ebay that Australian albums are given out on red and black label. What's the difference?

Answer Hello Kes,
Thanks for your question. The black label and Red label Australian Albert LP's are both reissues from 1980 or later. The original pressings would be dark blue labels with the Kangaroo, the second pressings without the 'roo.
