Check PJ collectors.

i have the UK promo
the Dutch should be the same cover just in slimline
my Sirens Dutch is same as UK one
we'll see, looks like a reprint on the paper only disc matches
The Unthought Known fakes have distinct differences in the actual CD artwork, and the Just Breathe fake I got has a bolder artwork on the CD since they clearly scanned it and reprinted it, probably making it a little bolder as not to lose any of the lettering, etc from the info.
If your CD lines up to the pjcollectors.com one well and the test looks clear and clean, I bet you're OK. Since these promos now are mostly printed off nicer printers and not professional runs, I bet slight color variations can happen from release to release.
It is funny that there are only 2 single CDR releases for Getaway that are only been made / sold in Europe, but no "official" release in the USA. Did Reprise USA get lazy to even put one out for USA or are these 2 Euro releases just bogus releases from Virgin / Universal Music Euro?
I wish Monkey Wrench Records / Pearl Jam Co. could start releasing their next promo singles on vinyl and forget releasing these inferior CDR products. Also bring back the B-Side.
Silver CD's have been released though, Brother, Ten from Ten, Vs/Vitalogy sampler. So there are silver pressed CDs, just not singles.

So it makes they easier to counterfeit which sucks when they can be very expensive (any Dutch promos, the US promos for Lightning Bolt and Future Days, etc).
I still think you can tell the fake ones but sadly that can be tricky until you've paid for them.... collecting sucks that way with a lot of PJ items (promo CDs, picks, stickers, posters, signatures, etc).
And, yes, bring back some b-sides please!
Isn't it weird there hasn't been a PJ Lightning Bolt single CDR release from UK or Holland? But there is a Holland & UK releases for Mind Your Manners, Sirens & Getaway? It's also surprising there isn't even a Japanese, Mexico or any Australian Pearl Jam Promo CD's for Lighting Bolt. Wish the folks over @ Monkey Wrench Records & their distributors could do a better job releasing Pearl Jam singles across the world. Stop pressing Pearl Jam music on cheap branded CDR's. You're better then that.
