Now that you mention it! I noticed mirrored text, hardly readable, on two of the labels. I wondered what that was. It all makes sense now.
So the "pink" white label promo labels are probably red labels, used upside down, right? What do you think?[/quote:363043j8]
I think we may be onto something here.
I just scored the zwan US CDR Acetate of Honestly and the US CD Commercial Promo of Honestly for $5 for the both of them.
[/quote:v7x7jr34]All right!
If you look REALLY CLOSE at some of the \"white\" labels, you can see writing underneath it. At least on some of my copies. Makes me think they just use labels that didn’t get used for other releases and press/glue them on there, writing side down. Plus the writing is always backwards.

Oh, and the way overpriced G.L.O.W. single $74when i’m sad, i like to lick my rarest cds. so yeah, fingerprints are gross!
just kidding.
haha, this reminds me, once i was at a second hand record store and one of the customers suddenly started licking a record he just took out of the sleeve.
the lady of the store said: "hey, stop that! you’ve been doing this before and other customers have been complaining about it. it’s gross. and why would you lick it in the first place?!? and you’ve never bought anything here. you just come in to lick records and scare away people."
and he said: "i know what you’re doing! you’re treating the records with product, so they look shinier than they really are. i can taste it!"
and the lady said: "hell no, why would we do that? get the fuck out!"
and then he went out of the store. true story.[/quote:z8gm1oae]best post in awhile.

me too. it’s like a GD cold this one. everyone i know has it. i had to reformat my hard drive and start from scratch.
no biggie though. it’s a work computer and my IT guy did it in one day. He rocks!
For the Israeli ones, I just see it as some guy in Israel slapping some sticker on there. How would you know the difference?
But the UK one, that’s different, because it’s just like any other stickers I’ve ever seen issued by Hut, so it’s probably genuine.
There is no hard/fast rule about this. I think it comes down to the collector. I wouldn’t want either of those I Am One promos, for example.

[/quote:1q3mx8yo]Now that is the SHIT!
It’s just that if two releases are identical, except for that one small sticker, I’m personally not really interested in it. You can collect all you want of course.
That is all.My main point was that all French MCIS cds most likely come with artwork that says "printed in Holland". (See also the entry on spfreaks: http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … &item=1966)[/quote:1t9j1aqq]
I agree Bram, for the most part. I don’t pay attention to the stickers. That’s why I don’t collect any Israel releases, cause it’s just a sticker.
But then there are stickers made by the record company (see Indie top 20 vol. 16?). Which, I don’t know.
I guess I’m saying for the most part, they are meaningless, but I used discretion anyway.

$0.06 – Cheapest thing I’ve ever bought online.
Must be number 3: I also have a copy with cds that say "made in France", but artwork that says "printed in Holland". I guess this is how they all look like.
I think those small stickers that say "made in England" (or the similar small ones that say "promo") are ignorable. But that’s just me.[/quote:1aq2yxdo]
I’m not so sure. My MCIS LP says Made in Great Britain or something. Some stickers are chit, others aren’t.
Like the BR promo Siamese Dream vinyl has a promo sticker in Portuguese? It’s the only thing that differentiates it from the normal release.
