Re:European made Hendrix and Lennon reissues 12 Years, 11 Months ago Karma: 0  
I apologize, I made a mistake (remembered incorrectly). Out of those that I mentioned, Sony (The Clash, Iggy Pop) are thick sleeves (regular sleeves - not gatefold - that fit more than one disc are thin), but Warner sleeves of Ramones and Stooges are thin. Led Zeppelin IV and II from Germany are thick gatefold sleeves, but I presume that the ones from Japan are such too. I have not seen any thick sleeve by Universal, so I think most of the sleeves are made of a thin cardboard.

Front cover (main) image of WPCR-13142 (fake) : Led Zeppelin : Fake Led Zeppelin - 40th Anniversary Definitive Collection (Zoso Box)
WPCR-13142 (fake) : 2009-01-01

This fake Led Zeppelin 40th Anniversary appears to be made in China. You would find it hard to pick a sealed copy of this as being anything other than than the real deal.

Inside it is also remarkably similar but has some significant, obvious differences in packaging including: (a) the CD comes in a flimsy loose fitting bag (b) Physical Graffiti has no cut out windows and (c) III (3) has no turning wheel.

The CDs also have the tell tale extra ring in the middle but this is much better disguised than usual.

Unusually for fakes these have the catalogue number and an IFPI code (CC 303) on the silver side of the disc.

Die Cut Covers :

Die cutting of the cover image or inserts is probably the most common technique employed to create gimmick covers. It's probably also in most cases the cheapest.

There are thousands of die cut covers. Here are a few of the more popular and best known releases.
