FAC-2 a Factory sample

Joy Division: John Dowie The Durutti Column: Cabaret Voltaire:

Here is another chance for you to bid for the ultra rare (5000 copies originally pressed) which sold out by December 1978. I was one of those lucky ones and purchased my copy from what was ‘Projection records’ in Southend on Sea. This copy has been played but is still in excellent condition, with no discernable marks etc. The John Dowie / Cabaret Voltaire disc has manufacturing faults on both labels where the silver coating has flaked away slightly. You may be able to see this in the photo.

If you require further information don’t hesitate to contact me.

Postage is £3.00 recorded 1st.class but if you do use this compensation is only up to £36; the rest is your risk

Next day special delivery is £6.00 compensation up to £500

How to spot the counterfeit copy:

1) No shrink-wrap. The original sleeve was a 14" x 14" bit of paper folded in half then shrink wrapped in thin crinkly plastic. Like a food bag.
2) No stickers
3) The matrix numbers are in large hand written characters
4) No groove notations. The original had "Everything is repairable everything is broken"
5) The counterfeit has thick paper (cardboard) sleeve, the original had a thin paper sleeve

6) The labels are the "Use no hearing protection" logo with the band names on each side.

7) Matrix etchings in slightly larger writing than the original

8) The counterfeit copy has no raised serrated vinyl edge around the label - the original does.

9) The stickers are a perfect copy but they look `new`. They do not have `fasprint ` or any other printing on the reverse.
