Counterfeit LB CD?

Postby monkeewrench » Wed Nov 13, 2013 1:21 am

Anyone else buy a LB CD listed on ebay from Hong Kong? Here’s the listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pearl-Jam-Light ... 754wt_1124

Aside from the fact that it’s packaged in a jewel case (this first questionable thing despite a few legit Backspacers in a jewel case) it looks bootleg to me given the less than clear font on the spine, the back etc., not to mention the insert had scratches and was actually dirty inside the jewel case as if it was kicked across a floor. Also it came sealed in shrinkwrap. At first I just assumed it was made in the same dirty place as the US vinyl.  :lol:

Anyway, it looked legit on first glance, but it has to be a fake so off to PayPal I go requesting a refund.
Buyer beware.

Received the cd today.

I'm 80% sure it's not official because of the poor booklet quality printing.

Anyway, I like it. It's a jewel case LB. And btw mine arrived pristine and mint.

I'll never buy physical media from Hong Kong. It's always bootlegged crap.
