There are just recently uploaded two issues of ELO, Secret Messages to Discogs:
http://www.discogs.com/Electric-Light-Orchestra-Secret-Messages/release/1973565 http://www.discogs.com/Electric-Light-Orchestra-Secret-Messages/release/1980635

As you can see they are almost indentical, the differences being:

1. One of the has a typo in the cat.no on obi-strip
2. Different CD matrix printings
3. Different printings on the CD itself

Any idea why there exists two almost identical issues for the sam title? Could one of them be fake?

Hi Internaut,

The first one (1973565) is a fake.

The first sign of this is the ring that is visible on the label of the CD.

See http://www.minilps.net/fakes for more tell tale signs.

Sam.

hudson-pf01 : 2008-01-01

A unique creation from Kerry Hudson design. Lavishly sculptured and finished, this felt lined wooden box stand holds all regular sized Pink Floyd Mini vinyl LP replica covers along with a selection of DVDs.

The ultimate gift for the Pink Floyd fan who has everything. (The box is currently for sale from the sculptor. Contact details can be found here.)

This was Kerry's second homage to an artist's releases on Mini LP, the first being Hudson Genesis Box Mach I.
