Black & White 050505 is the fourteenth studio album (of original material) by Scottish rock band Simple Minds, released in the UK on 12 September 2005.
The album was not officially released in the US.
The song "The Jeweller Part 2" is a reworked, re-recorded version of "Jeweller to the Stars", from the semi-cancelled album Our Secrets Are the Same.
The sessions for Black And White 050505 yielded an album and a half of material. The tracks "Light Travels" and "Fortune Teller" were left off the album because Jim Kerr did not want to compromise the album's structure or overall feel. "Light Travels" was later rerecorded and appeared on Graffiti Soul.
The recording sessions for the album ended on 5 May 2005 (05/05/05), hence the number in the album's title.
