Hello,

Does anyone knows how to distinguish the original copy from the late counterfeit?

Does anyone has scans of the 2012 counterfeit ?

Cheers

So i guess this one is a bootleg too ? in black vinyl but the labels look original

from chas' description of the pirate copy: "there is a black vinyl record in a card wrap round sleeve that is a good copy of the original." the original has a glued paper sleeve.

I think it is probably a counterfeit, but in a different sleeve than the earlier one. Very annoying these counterfeits, and weird that they would copy a record that isn't that rare or expensive to begin with...

I have now got a copy of the counterfeit with a much better reproduction of the original sleeve. It is a wraparound sleeve and my copy is on clear brown vinyl. What I did not expect is that it is actually a different pressing from the earlier version (runout is narrower on the new version).
