Is the label side black? Is the media side black?

These discs used to be black on both sides (audiophiles like me have found the sound quality to be superior to silver CD-Rs); however, NOW THE OPTICAL SIDE IS SILVER, like any other CD-R. I have confirmed with Memorex that they have discontinued manufacturing discs with a black optical side, but have left all of the packaging and item description unchanged. Disingenuous and dishonest--don't buy them.

Only the label side is black. The recording side/media are just like any other CD-Rs, NOT BLACK!

Both sides are black, but a small silver ring is visible on the outer edge of the front, as the black is just a silk-screened label on a silver disc. The back is truly black.

Both sides are black. The label is mostly black with a bit of space for green label area for writing. They could have changed the label color, as it has been awhile, but I have bought several stacks of this product. The media side is black for better tracking. Seriously. I've found that the black tracks better with the laser as it lets less laser light escape from the media while spinning. WOW, the price has skyrocketed in past years.. Office Depot used to sell this 50 pack for $8!!!! $30 for this??? Expensive.

The top and sides are black. I love mine. Best microwave I have ever owned.

The backer is white - not as bright as the front, but I have printed on the wrong side already. (The other batch of labels I had like this had a printed backer - made it much easier to tell.)

that's on the back of the label, I think that stuff is just at the beginning of the roll. either way, the print side is always plain white

The one I have/got was black. There was/is no color option that I ever saw.

Hi Philis. I posted 2 pictures of the back label. Hope it helps. I see that you got a response, but thought the label may also be of help.

The Black Block is for alignment purposes. Located on the rear side of the label, which is peeled off when the label is used.

The one I got was not. I see some have complained about the black and I checked. I have had no problems at all.

My recent purchase was black, but I have been told that production does vary and may include red at times.

Mine was black...I think you can pick, or message the seller and let them know you want black when you check out. I think there's an option to do so

No, it's black. At least mine is. Good product; worth the money in my opinion.

It is both. It is like a darkened silver on the top. The sides and underneath are black.

Yes, definitely black. Just a fyi, there were some scuff marks, but it is a good item.

Yes... LOL It has been in both colors. Lately all have been black, but I would guess there is no hard guarantee what color.

Lol, actually when I received mines the logo came in black. If your gunna use it for studio purposes its a real good entry-level monitor to get. But the sticker looks removable.

No, the sides are black but it is the best microwave I have ever owned. Definitely worth the money I paid.

You are suppose to attach the label to an object, so therefore it won't be clear on both sides.
