New Greek Fake promo cd "Psychological"?

#1 Post by JSDOUVRES »

Just seen on ebay what must be another fake promo cd, the Home and dry graphics help give it away.
I reckon the person who is making these is the same as who made the "flamboyant" Fakes and I bet they have made quite a bit of cash too!

There's a brilliant piece of feedback for another item they sold...

"Still never recieved the right one,are you sure your not making these???????????"

Plus the seller recently sold 2 copies of the Promo 12" and a Home And Dry (Photonovela Mix) CD!! :shock:

They really put a lot of effort into these cd's but it's worth it for the money they make. Most of the cd's they sell have no cat. number and are all silver printed cd's with the same kind of press release and cd cover.
Must be fake's.

So are you telling me the Home & Dry greek promo is a fake?
The one many people paid a fortune??? :twisted:

Well, after I see all the products the seller follow the same technique of making their products... and now I really think the H&D greek CD is really a fake. A good one with a nice greek fan made remix, but still a fake (as far as it's been considered an official EMI promo).

It's a shame a few people still make some good cash by liying... :?

Not really! But I'm sure EMI Greek made those promos without permission of Parlophone/EMI. Maybe they don't have to get a permission...??

So these CD-Rs are not really official, but maybe official in Greece...




...but this item definitely will appear under http://www.psb-discography.com also!

Another question I have in regard to these cd's is that why are the press releases and info in English when it is for the Greek dj's/press. Does not really make sense to me.
And also all promotional official cd's must have a cat. number surely?

I've seen the name Giorgos Geranios as a reviewer on music magazines here, so if it's the same person he could have recieved this as a promo from EMI.

But as I'm not a PSB completist I haven't a clue whether it's a custom made mix or a fake or whatever, so don't take my word for it.

I've never beleived the Greek HAD promo CD was authentic, neither the US 5trk Flamboyant CDR. And I certainly do not believe this new Psychological CD to be authentic. This is why I've avoided people who sell bootlegs and suspected bootlegs. And for anyone assuming that I sell fakes, I would like to know your reasons. I only have 1 bootleg in my entire collection and I paid £1 for it from a record fair.

somethings more on that issue - for all those, who are going and bid on this item, because of a special reason:

I BET, the version of Psychological is 'recorded from vinyl & burned on CD-R'. So hopefully nobody thinks, s/he can get an digital version of the track in the end! This wouldn't happen!
