| notes | several variations exist of this counterfeit original item: blew - uk cd |
|||
| variation 1 |
the print quality of the inlay is poor (see detail). in the original the text is printed with silver ink, while in this counterfeits it's a blurry grey. the matrix is TUP CD 8 MPO 01 @@ as in one variation of the original issue, but here it's written with different, smaller characters. the 'groove' zone of the cd is very clearly visible |

| variation 2 |
easily recognizable, the front inlay misses the 'compact disc' logo, the quality of the print and paper stock of the inlay is low, the matrix is NIBVANA. the credits on the inlay inside are written with a different font and spell 'Endino ar Reciprocal' instead of 'Endino at Reciprocal'. the 'groove' zone of the cd is very clearly visible |

this item has been counterfeited many times, so other variations exist. the things to check are the matrix and the printing quality of inlay and cd |
