DAVID BOWIE
THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD.
1978 JAPAN
THIS IS A FAKE
THIS IS A PHONEY
THIS IS A FORGERY
THIS IS A COUNTERFEIT
Due to the high value of this record there are 2 fakes in existence.
It was faked in 1983 in Italy but that fake is pretty poor quality.
It was also faked in 1978 in Japan and that is a much better effort.
THAT IS THE ONE YOUR LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW .
THE SUPERB JAPAN COUNTERFEIT .
Here are some differences between the original and THIS
ONE RIGHT HERE. THE FORGERY.
1)The Counterfeit cover has a sheeny texture to it, the original has a matt texture which is more defined, the colours are much paler like the EMI/Rycodisc release who probably used the counterfeit for their artwork.
2) On the forgery Bowie`s foot goes right to the edge of the sleeve, on the original there is a centimetre or more sleeve to the right of Bowie`s foot - this is the usual method in telling them apart.
3)The counterfeit`s back cover is very pale again the original is a more defined grey.
4) The spine has Mercury, title, and catalogue number running from right to left on the counterfeit whereas the original have them running from left to right, this is if your holding the cover face up!
5) The inner of the sleeve is white on the counterfeit and grey on the original and I`m talking about the ACTUAL sleeve and not the paper inner sleeve!
6)The label on the counterfeit is a lighter shade of black than the original, also the typeset on the counterfeit is thinner and taller, it also has an `R`circled near the date 1971 rather than a proper `P` other than that its a very good effort.
7) The matrix on the runout groove is larger on the counterfeit , not so well stamped and omits 420 from the numbers, additionally the matrix faces the label rather than pointing away from it as on the original.
SO REST ASSURED THERE IS YOUR PROOF BEYOND A
SHADDOW OF A DOUBT THIS IS THE PHONEY .
It is in EXCELLENT condition throughout and it plays
SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY !
It does have a value and it is sort after by collectors like
myself and other completest collectors simply because
this too, is a huge part of the David Bowie story.
I have loved having this in my collection. It stood side by side
with my other Dress covers. Its a great talking point with
other vinyl heads and it is very interesting.
IT IS ALSO VERY, VERY RARE !!!!!
THIS IS A RARE FAKE. BUT A GREAT FAKE.
THIS IS A RARE PHONEY. BUT A GREAT PHONEY.
THIS IS A RARE FORGERY. BUT A GREAT FORGERY.
THIS IS A RARE COUNTERFEIT. BUT A GREAT COUNTERFEIT.
