Apologies if this is already discussed somewhere, feel free to combine if so.
But apparently the Amazon clear vinyls are being shipped in two distinctly different colours? One made in Germany which is a blueish tinge and one made in USA which is a milky-white and carries extra hype sticker on the front. Both have the same barcode numbers but different barcode stickers and different record labels.
I ordered mine from Amazon UK and received the one made in Germany.
Somebody kindly posted the below images on Facebook.

I ordered from Amazon UK and got the clear one. It looks and plays absolutely fantastic !
I wouldn't have been very happy if I'd received the milky one, it's not even transparent!

Oh jeez, what other mystery colours are out there?!
So to recap vinyl issues to date:
Black vinyl
White vinyl (2 discs with Furthermore)
Grey vinyl (ordered mine from Rough Trade)
Zoetropic (Blood records)
Clear vinyl (Amazon UK/EU)
Clear Milky vinyl (Amazon USA)
Did I miss anything?

So, buyer beware! Looks like we have another scenario like the orange Relentless CD (versus the yellow one).
I ordered from Amazon Canada the "Milky White" Nonetheless and it is identical in every way to the one I ordered from Amazon UK. Link below.

I'm trying again with an order from Amazon USA and will report as soon as I get it (which apparently might take a while)

What colour was the one from Amazon.ca? Milky white or bluey-tint?

Bluey tint - same as the one I got from Amazon UK (which I assumed at the time was the only place it could be bought).

My box from Amazon Canada has a similar sticker...same words and codes EXCEPT that second number is 102993659.
Not sure if that's important.
Also that second sticker stating "opaque grey" is not on it...weird because that's the indie store edition I bought from Rough Trade I believe....
Confused much!?

Well, should this not rectify itself, I have another copy to trade for a Bluish Clear should you not get what you want.
Cheers!

I'd be down! If you don't mind, I'll wait and see if Amazon USA comes through first...

My AmazonUSA order arrived and it is indeed different...I'd call it properly "milky" as opposed to the EU made one with the blue tint.
Also the inner sleeve is glossier than all other versions. The outer sleeve seems a little oversized for the inner too...it kind of bows outward.
Bit of a faff and annoyed that the Canadian Amazon are sending out the EU version.
But why is this a thing even? It really is the orange Relentless kerfuffle all over again (a copy of which I still don't have). Makes me a bit grumpy
