SEE BELOW FOR YOUR OWN COLLECTION IF YOU NEED IT:)

HOW TO TELL IF YOU OWN A COUNTERFEIT OR AN AUTHENTIC RELEASE: 

 Dead-sure Method:

☞ If title and artist are separated on the label by the spindle hole, it's a counterfeit.
☞ If it is stereo and has ''Love Me Do'' on the back cover, it's most likely a counterfeit. (See additional "HONEY" test below.)
☞ If ''stereo'' appears only on the cover and not on the label, it's a counterfeit.
☞ If the record claims to be in stereo, but plays mono, it's a counterfeit.
☞ If the label is all black/silver and has a large brackets logo, it's a counterfeit.

☞ The runout etching on almost all genuine copies should contain at least one of the following stamps:
''Audio Matrix''
''MR'' in a circle
''ARP'' in italics

***************************************

Easy Method By Cover:
☞ If George casts no shadow, it's a counterfeit.
☞ If the background contains no gradient and the colors seem off, it's a counterfeit.
☞ If the cover has a brown border, it's a counterfeit.
☞ If the front cover does not wrap around completely underneath the back cover slick, it's a counterfeit.
☞ If the back cover print is blurry in whatever way, it's a counterfeit.
☞ If printer marks (colored dots) are visible on the top of the back cover, it's a counterfeit.
☞ If the ''H'' and/or "E" of ''Honey'' in "A TASTE OF HONEY" on the back cover shows a printing deficit, it's a counterfeit.

*******************************************************

Easy Method By Label:
☞ If title and artist are separated on the label by the spindle hole, it's a counterfeit.
☞ If the label has a flat textured rainbow/color-band design, it's a counterfeit.
☞ If the dead wax after the last track is wider than an inch, it's a counterfeit
☞ If the label is all black and on glossy paper, it's a counterfeit.
☞ Any significant loss of color in the rainbow on the label (especially green) indicates a counterfeit.

There are 37 variations of the genuine pressing (including both mono and stereo) known.
There are a ton of counterfeits out here on Ebay as well as many originals so be careful to examine them.

PAYMENT: Due in 7 Days

FEEDBACK: I will leave you positive feedback as soon as your order is shipped. Please do the same when you receive your item if you are happily satisfied. If there is a problem, don't hesitate to get in touch with me  (before leaving any feedback) and I will work on resolving the issue for you.  

SHIPPING AND HANDLING: $5.22 within the U.S. for Media Mail (1 – 3 Records per order/package) I am meticulous about packing records for shipment and use corrugated record mailers with flats. I separate the record from the cover to avoid seam splits and each record jacket comes covered in a new poly sleeve.
