FAKES & COUNTERFEITS ANALYSIS.

"A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS".

Brief Statistics. Il disco è uscito dal 2002 prima in versione picture-disc, che riproduce quello dell'album originale; 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 blu della casa, e quelli con la classica etichetta nera della Columbia ed un solo logo EMI. Negli ultimi anni, sono emerse anche le versioni americane, con etichetta arancione della Tower e molte variazioni di colore. Degne di nota sono la versione mono del 2006 in vinile nero (senz'altro un pezzo abbastanza ingannevole per un collezionista poco esperto) ed un paio di versioni inglesi test-pressing con improbabili vinili chiazzati. Nel 2016 è uscito anche in versione tedesca in vinile nero, ma con etichetta viola, molto ingannevole agli occhi dei meno esperti.

(*) Note: In questa pagina sono indicati tutti i fake conosciuti di questo disco che sono circolati dal 2001 ad oggi (spero...), per ogni approfondimento, andare alle singole pagine. 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).

** Marbled = dirty vinyl with stains or shadows (ita: anche marmorizato o maculato)
