Seems too me that if these were fake someone went too a lot of work. And if your going to fake them why plant them in a store at store price? lol The other ones that came up on ebay went cheap. Cause no one saw them. No one posted on a board that they were on there to get a high bid. Looks like the person that sold the others had no idea what they had.

This just proves the mystery of 'Chinese Democracy' is still going on almost 3 years after it was released.

Wonder how many alternative CDs will show up in the future.  Tongue

No, he got two copies. There will be more, since nobody just makes two copies of something.
They are imports, that gus had unbelievable luck to get those. There are probably more copies out there somewhere. I guess you need to be lucky to get one.

And no, they are not fake

OK, not going on record and saying that they are in fact fake, but have you seen this thread here?:

the german dude went to a "Media Markt" store in Germany just to look for some discs and/or DVDs. when randomly searching through "G" and "Guns N' Roses" there, he found 2 sealed copies of "Chinese Democracy" CD with an alternate cover. he asked some dude working there about it and he meant smth. general that it wouldnt be anything special with (mostly bigger) bands releasing CDs with alternate covers, he said Michael Jackson's "Invincible" did have 4 different covers (obviously that person didnt know s*it about GN'R  hihi). the fan then asked him to look out if there'd be more copies in the back of the store (this is a BIG technique store here in Germany by the way) but there weren't.
the german fan bought both copies, opened one, scanned and posted some of the booklet/info. codenummer/EAN of the disc is "6 0251790609 9"

Mr. Limulus is driving to one "Media Markt" store in north Germany RIGHT NOW!
dont have high hopes but i'll keep you updated little later.


i did a little research: typed in the bar code no. into google (without the spaces) and....

http://www.google.de/#hl=de&cp=11&gs_id=k&xhr=t&q=602517906099&pf=p&sclient=psy&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=602517906099&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=399e833921fa4819&biw=1272&bih=572&bs=1

seems like this guy is telling the truth. damn, i f***in' want that disc !!!!!

If it is real, I like the artwork for "Catcher" though I prefer the "original" one with the distressed human form holding his head.
The "Sorry" skeletons are cool too, but again, prefer the original with the open skull.

And the new "Prostitute" artwork doesn't do anything for me at all.  In fact, I find it pretty lame.  The "Prostitute" artwork in the real booklet is fantastic.

And I really like the grenade cover, though I prefer the bloody hand one.  Would be nice to have the choice though.  Would be cool to get different versions of the album with the different artwork in each one.

Pretty sure that sku was available from BB (and a couple of other retailers) back when CD was released.  I remember the discussions, when trying to preorder, about the different cover variations (A, B, and C...but with no pics).

I'm not surprised there's some google traces of it.
