Counterfeit 'Amused to Death' Vinyl lp?

Have the original on Columbia records - reads "Roger Waters A side 1" or something like that hand written on the lead out. If yours is a Sony Records its a Japanese release, from what I read Europe and US releases were all on Columbia records. Sony now owns Columbia don't know if they did in 1992

On the counterfeit issue I've read that they made them from the CD - don't know the mechanics of it.

Good Listening

Thanks for your responses. As an update, I contacted the guy I purchased the record from, and asked him for a refund. He asked that I return it to him, my cost, and that he would give me a refund. Of course, that's yet to be done, wish me luck!

You should lodge a dispute via the PayPal/eBay now and if you paid via PayPal you are fully protected and entitled to a full refund including postage regardless of what the seller does or says.

The original had two pressing both from the UK or Holland. The metal part was from Doug Sax at the Mastering Lab. Look to the leadout groove you will see plainly stamped not scratched into the vinyl. TML-M

The labels on my LP's say Columbia not Sony. Have not heard of a Sony pressing but if there was a Japan pressing of this LP. I am sure that if it was real it would have had an OBI sash and would be even more collectable than the UK pressed LP.

Discogs.com only lists one vinyl pressing from 1992 and its on Columbia and pressed in the UK, everything else is listed as being a CD.
Good luck!
