Description
BELOW IS FROM DISCOGS. MY INVESTIGATION OF ALL THIS HAS LEFT ME NOT KNOWING DEFINITIVELY IF THIS LP IS AN ORIGINAL OR FAKE. MY COPY FITS ALL THE QUALIFIERS LISTED BELOW BUT DOES NOT HAVE THE SUPPOSED STAMPED MATRIX NUMBER ON THE A SIDE LABEL UP ABOVE THE "ADAM VIII" AND SEEMINGLY UPSIDE DOWN, (FROM SOME OF WHAT I'VE READ). MINE DOES HAVE THAT MATRIX # HAND-ETCHED ON THE A SIDE LABEL ON THE RIGHT SIDE STARTING OPPOSITE THE WORD "STEREO" AND RUNNING BOTTOM TO TOP VERTICALLY JUST INSIDE THE PERIMETER OF THE LABEL. IT SAYS "A 8018-A" AND THEN I THINK THE LETTERS "RC". HARD TO TELL AS IT'S VERY LIGHT.

Presented on this album are Lennon's rough mixes of what became his "Rock & Roll" album. The release of this mail order album in January 1975 resulted in Lennon stepping up the process of releasing "Rock & Roll" a month later.The following law suit was resolved in favor of Capitol Records and John Lennon. Production of this LP was halted and about 3000 copies survive.
There are the steps to see if your version is the original:
1) If any copy has the word GREATEST (instead of GREAT) printed on the spine-it's a fake.
2) Original covers are manufactured with white posterboard. If any copy has a paste on cover slicks-it's a fake...beware some counterfeits have copied the white posterboard construction.
3) On the cover,if you cannot see the pink flesh on John Lennon's shoulder-its a fake Many counterfeits use a slightly enlarged copy of the front cover which cuts out the shoulder.
4) If the letters in the word STEREO (in the bottom right corner of the cover) run together-its a fake.All originals have the word STEREO printed in separate letters.
5) On the back cover, the printing on the little album covers in the advertisment are legible, This is not to say they are perfectly clear because the print is really small. Every counterfeit that I have seen has the print absolutely unreadable.
6) If The record is unusually thick piece of vinyl-its a fake. Remember,original copies of this record were pressed in 1975, vinyl records were not pressed with the same heavy,thick vinyl as they were in the 1960's.
7) if the label on the record is unusually large compared to a standard 1970's pressing-its a fake. 8) If the trail off area of the record does not have a machine stamp BELL SOUND-its a fake. But beware some counterfeits do have BELL SOUND stamped in the dead wax.
9)There is one definitive thing that separates the originals from the fakes..All original copies have the matrix number of A 8018 pressed into Side 1 Label. No counterfeits have this feature.....This being said, this copy is an original and meets all the determining facts.....
All the above, from below my pink highlighted part to here, is from Discogs, not me.
