Official or Fake

[miguelimarques]

Your thoughts please:




Please keep in mind that this is a Japanese edition (or pretends to be).

No idea. Surprised that the Japanese had the humor to write "promotional bootleg copy". Somebody must have been fired for that.

Nothing to support my view, but I'd say fake.

[miguelimarques]

I agree with both. On one side, the Japanese have a different approach to things. On the other, it looks really fake.
Though it comes with a MCA Victor promo sticker.

Please be aware that this is probably a repackaged item. Not official.

The date on the back of the box says 1992. I doubt any long boxes were being used anywhere in the world by 2004.
