I think we've been through that before, but it's a fake, isn't it?

I think we did agree it was a fake - I seem to remember someone saying it was done by the same people who did all the Metropolis Mastering mixes a couple of years back.

I aint bidding, if it was official someone would have leaked them on the net by now. (well you'd hope so!!)

Fake or not, if you want it for the remixes it would be good to have.

If you want it from a PSB merchandise/memorabilia perspective, go with your gut feel.

I'm leaning towards genuine...

Anything from "EMI France" I totally ignore.

Yep definitely fake. Almighty have confirmed it themselves.......... (taken from the almighty forum)

"This is most definitely a boot.

We delivered the main Definitive Mix (as was used), the full Definitive mix (which was not used - though it did appear on the very first Almighty Showreel), The Man On A Mission mix and an instrumental of that mix. We didn't even deliver a radio edit to the best of my knowledge.

Cheers,

Andy"

Andy is wrong because there is an Almighty radio edit on the Japonese Promo of New York city boy.

Andy corrects himself in a later post and mentions the places to get the mix although I think he actually means the radio edit had nothing to do with them - more a record company decision.

The Cd is fake though!! Believe me!

Nope, So Hard Morales mixes got an official release in Holland, cat number cdp 560-20-4177 2

Don't see why they wouldn't like it - they loved the remix - apparently Neil was in a club with Chris and the So Hard remix came on - he asked Chris what the record was as he loved it - Chris supposedly said "you should do... it's us !"

Guys & Galls,

Just let this being a warning to all of us on here ......

I'm deeply suspicious about this and most of the stuff that "best_tunes" sells - I actually think he has a few bogus names and bids on his own sale items pushing the price way up and generating interest.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :WNA:UK:12

Now I know there is (or I would hope) that no one on here would bid £404 quid for an item which has been proved to be a fake.

The guy who has bought it also bought other fake PSB goods from this same seller at really expensive prices.

Please, please, please, beware !!!!!!

£404!?!?!?! :shock:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :lol:

This is outrageous! :o

You could get an official lot (of 2-3 CD's) as much as 3 times over for that price. :wink:

People have more money than sense these days, especially when there is no official thing called EMI France :boo:

:roll:

As told by Techno, EMI France doesn't exist. Any other question? :wink:
