.. because, according to the archived topic on how to tell fake Ten Picture Discs, my LP is real (the purple cursive is light and faded :D ) but the sleeve may not be (Epic logo/copyright print is faded. :( ) The XP and number looks more purple than grey, and the sleeve does not have the round cutout on the right side. Can any of you collectors let me know what you think? Thanks!

    Sounds like a fake, but one surefire way to verify.

    The etching on the center of the vinyl should say Orlake on side A and B. I believe that was the pressing plant in the UK where these were made.

    The fakes don't have that marking.

    Thanks everyone! I'm out of town, but will check when I get back. Got it off ebay for $20, so my hopes weren't that high. Looks cool either way.
