Fake version with "split" Elektra logo

By vandeebgroup (69)

I've heard about a counterfeit of this CD which can be identified by the Elektra logo on the disc (gap between the red and black in the circle logo). My copy has the split logo, and I assumed it was counterfeit. But when I scanned it to post to my site, I realized that the inner ring says exactly what this item says (MADE BY DISCOVERY SYSTEMS - AN AMERICAN COMPANY - 0R20100). Does anyone know more about this? Is it very easy to copy the inner ring info even if it is replicated somewhere else? I'm wondering if we know for sure that it is counterfeit, or maybe it was actually just a printing error?

		Yes it strange. Maybe it is a mispress, who knows?

		Ah, thanks curemember. I see what you are talking about. It's so strange that someone would go to so much trouble to copy this item and get so many of the tiny details correct, only to make a mistake on the logo and "." in the type. If it is fake, they really did do a lot of work to make it appear real! Strange.

		Hello there Zack! Check this site http://www.on-fiction.com/TheC... you check the pictures you can see that the fake cd hasnÂ't any full stop between the words All rights reserved and unauthorized. On my cd itÂ's a full stop between All rights reserved.unauthorized Then you also can see the difference in the logo. But the full stop or the point between is the easiest way you can see it. I have no idea if itÂ's easy to copy the inner ring?? But i think this is a fake cd, this cd was selling on ebay about maybe 3 years ago and i think i saw it at least 25-30 times.. /Lasse!

		i'd been meaning to ask this myself vandeeb. i also have one which i thought was genuine, but later heard there was a new lot of fakes circulating - this was about 5 years ago. i'll have to check it. regards,
