Look at the 2nd picture of the record, above the Geffen logo. See that white lining on the outside of the record label (not part of the paper sleeve)? That shouldn't be there.

I should ask them about Live Like A Suicide. Title: Re: Guns N Roses GNR Japan EP - learn to spot the fakes! Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on December 18, 2008, 12:47:40 AM I laughed.
