FAKES & COUNTERFEITS ANALYSIS.

"THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN".

Brief Statistics. Il disco è uscito per la prima volta nel 2002, prima in versione picture-disc, che riproduce quello dell'album originale, poi ristampato qualche anno dopo con altro motivo; poi nel corso degli anni hanno preso piede le varie variazioni di colore, soprattutto con accattivanti o impossibili sfumature; si distinguono due tipi fondamentali: quelli con l'etichetta nera della Colombia e marchio giallo, e quelli con la classica etichetta nera della Columbia e due loghi EMI. Negli ultimi anni, sono emerse anche le versioni della Fame, con etichetta gialla e varie variazioni di colore. Degne di nota sono la versione mono del 2005 in vinile nero; la celebre versione italiana, sempre in vinile nero (ristampata anche con vinili colorati); e la nuova versione in vinile nero tedesco del 2016, senz'altro pezzi abbastanza ingannevoli per un collezionista poco esperto.

Non è stato messo nessun riferimento alle aste di Ebay, nè al venditore del disco, per motivi di privacy e poichè risulterebbe troppo complicato il monitoraggio. La data corrisponde quasi sempre alla data della prima apparizione del pezzo su Ebay o su un'altra fonte di vendita del disco (Discogs, Vinilmania, fiere varie).
