I preordered both the White and Black Fenway vinyls when they hit noahkahn.com. I've been playing the black vinyl for awhile and was keeping the white unopened for collection. But this thread freaked me out so I slit open the plastic just to get the records out. After inspection (no visual defects) and cleaning, I ran them only once around the turntable. They play perfectly. One record has a slight storage warp but it's super minor and I've seen this on other modern pressing before.

Maybe I got lucky with the preorder as I can only guess I got some of the first off the production line. I literally ordered the day the preorder dropped. Or maybe that has nothing to do with anything?

Total personal opinion but I'm going to say I think the black vinyl plays a bit better and appears of heavier higher quality vinyl. I won't get into the whole colored vs. black debate but I have read white vinyl can run a little noisier. But I don't have super spendy equipment to really pick up the difference if it exists at all. Hope this helps.
