There seems to be a plethora of fraudulent sellers at the moment, including some of the ones you have mentioned above. I have been looking at John Lennon Mini LP's and MOST of the ones on ebay are definitely fakes (or copies of Japanese CD's). I have Mind Games, Walls and Bridges and Plastic Ono Band already (which I bought in Japan) and comparing those to what are on ebay there are subtle differences ( and sometimes not so subtle ones). One of the things they seem to love to put on the back of the cover is Made In England, where the Japanese ones state Made in Japan. Another difference on Walls and Bridges is that in the lyric insert, on the Japanese version the track titles and in Bold CAPITALS and on the 'copy' they are in bold miniscule (small) letters. Also the CD has an Apple label on the Japanese and a Lennon to Ono label on the 'copy'.

I'm sure that there are many other differences, too many to mention here.

I'm sure Sam would agree with me when I say to be very careful when buying from Finnish and Russian sellers.
