Appetite for Destruction - Re-Release??

[thelostrose]

A year ago or so i got a the A4D-LP as a re-release with pink vinyl. there are two different versions too out there (blue and white vinyl). does anyone know if those are bootleg-pressings, fakes or are they legit?

thanks for any info.

cheers

All I know is that a counterfeit started to circulate a couple of years ago. And that was a transparant vinyl version with the cross cover.

How do I know it's fake/bootleg?

Well, left and right channel is mixed, the innersleeve is missing and the colors on the frontcover is a bit blurry...

Its probably an import.  Any rerelease would have come with a bit of press.  Some  imports are cool and come with stickers and rare pics, colored vinyl, etc.  You'll have no question about the original when you come in contact with it.

That is definitely a counterfeit, you can see that the cover is not like the original.

You can also see that the label isn't perfect done...
