Re:Beware of cheap imports! 16 Years, 3 Months ago Karma: 2  
Your comments on the Hendrix and Lennon reissues prompted me to check the Police reissues I found in Australia recently and ... nearly exactly the same!

The CD has Made in Japan but the underside of the disk has "Made in Germany by EDC".

The other differences with the Police issues I have are the obi does not have the printing on the back (although this is not unusual for a reprint) but the Japanese insert is on thicker glossy paper.

These are not imports being dumped locally - they are fraudulent misrepresentations of a Japanese product!

It seems that Universal is doing a little faking of its own! (As far as I know this is illegal in Australia as it is considered missleading advertsiing.)

I will add some scans to Police in a day or two.
