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.

16 CD box set - being 14 studio albums including 2 doubles.

According to Pink Floyd Brain Damage site there were a few glitches with this release, the most notable being a misprinting of the inner bag for the second CD in "The Wall".

There are also cases of an album being missed out and duplicates in their places.

The later Japanese release of this box set is basically identical to this box set.

Poor quality fakes exist for this set - more details below.

The original Japanese individual releases are regarded as being of a much higher quality to either of these box sets.

You can see a YouTube video of this set on the videos page.
