Japanese CD (mini LP ) NEW

Post by Seriously » Sat Feb 09, 2013 9:24 pm

Looking on e-bay for some Alice stuff I came across many of these albums, are these the genuine article or not?

When the original (Japanese) albums came out they were quite prohibitive in cost from my wife’s point of view and I can understand that, £40 to £50 could have bought new curtains or a dish-washer (I thought I already had dish-washer, there you go). If they are the genuine article, great this is now in field of persuasion (wifey).

Your post doesn't contain a lot of information. Do you mean the items that were discussed at http://www.alicecooperpics.co.uk/Sickth ... ilit=japan perhaps?

As they say If it looks to good to be true.
If they are far cheaper then normal. Likely fakes. could have any transfer on them

Yes, I suppose I could have placed the link to ebay, but there are so many there I thought it would be pretty simple to find the items in question.

I was taking bet with myself Andy that you would be the first to respond, not that I’m knocking it.

If these are the genuine article I would be pretty peeved to find out that I bought these at the initial exorbitant price.

I agree, particularly as some are from Latvia so I’ll give them a miss, but there are others that say they are the genuine article and are near to half price when this format was released.

Not necessarily. It depends on which words you use to search.

You just proved my point. There is nothing about that country in the title of this thread which you created.

>http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alice-Cooper- ... 337fa4e97b

That is a legitimate item and is discussed in the link I provided.

• I did all my referencing for my dissertation in Uni, I didn’t think I had to do it here as well.

• Didn’t realise I had a point to prove I was just making people aware and throwing it out for discussion that’s all.

• Now wasn’t that nice and easy to do.

It does help otherwise some people might not know what you're referring to.

>Didn’t realise I had a point to prove

Who said you did? I said you proved MY point.

>I was just making people aware and throwing it out for discussion that’s all.

WHAT though? Is it discs from Japan or Latvia that you are asking about?

>Now wasn’t that nice and easy to do.

It would have been equally "easy" if you had been clearer in your original post.

Read the link I sent you and you'll probably find out all you need to know, assuming you know what that is.

To be honest, your original post was somewhat confusing. To title the thread as you did and then simply say “I come across many of these, are these the genuine article or not?" when there are over 50 such items on Ebay isn't really all that helpful.

Don't agree, this is not difficult; as I put in the script "Looking on e-bay for some Alice stuff I came across many of these albums, are these the genuine article or not?"

Can't see the problem, simple question, got my answer and one from the wife as well.

But perhaps I should have posted the ebay link for those who are getting confused as old age creeps on, we'll all be there one day I guess.

You must think we're mind readers since it's impossible to know exactly which items you're referring to when there are upwards of 70 items and most certainly not all of them are counterfeits.

But, I must say it is always nice to insult the people you're asking for help from.

To come back to the original question : there are a lot of counterfeits around on eBay.
there are fakes of - pretties / easy / love it / killer WITH calender / school's out NO pantys / BDB / welcome / from the inside WELL DONE / trash / Hey stoopid / welcome 2 .
All of of the above are mini lp fakes and they are coming from Russia. The latest ones have even the SHM-sticker replicated.
Prices are all about $ 10-20. The original aways have a price tag of $ 30 and more.
So it's quite easy to know if it's a bootleg or not. I don't know if this answer is complete but I hope it helps.
