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.

Front cover (main) image of Caroline-2008 : Various Artists : Caroline Records 2009 US Releases
Caroline-2008 : 2008-08-05

In late 2008 Caroline Records in the USA released a number of albums by the following artists: UFO, Jethro Tull, Quicksilver Messenger, Brian Eno, Roxy Music, The Raspberries, Kate Bush, Blondie, The Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Van Der Graaf Generator (full list below).

Unlike the suspect Universal releases these are 100% Japanese. The only difference between these and the Japanese (apart from being as much as 50% cheaper) is a sticker on the bar code of the obi.

As at March 2009 most of these are still available at Amazon.
