Saw this on eBay:

I've known of the Parlophone, Masterpiece and Abbey Road acetates, but none look like this. Never seen a Blue Room acetate with a matte topped disc or with the "compact disc digital audio" logo. Serial on the CD bottom returns to both retail purchased blanks and promo released CD's, and the "authentic" CD/DVD stickers can easily be purchased for pennies. Seller seems to primarily deal in cheesy software and model cars, but seems to have ok feedback.

 

Suspicious of the validity; anyone have/seen a copy like this?

 

Thanks for any info.

I think it's a fake. The release date doesn't match up too. The front print is soo easy to duplicate.

Maybe you should ask the Oracle to be completely sure though.

fake. i always collecte only officials so in order to avoid these fakes

He had listed that promo before and it didn't have the "authentic" CD/DVD sticker.

Interesting. I figured, it seemed a bit strange, a lot of warning signs (j/k), but thanks for the confirmation.
