◄  Genuine                     Counterfeit  ►
   The pressing ring on the counterfeit is
2-3/4 inches in diameter while the
legitimate measures 1-1/2 inches in
diameter.
      The image clarity is obviously inferior
on the fake.
        Notice the counterfeit's label is
mottled at the top outside the pressing
ring.
      Almost amusingly, as the templates
used for making these labels were
photocopied from an original album, the
center hole image remains visible on the
Side 2 label at the 4 o'clock position, offset
from the true spindle hole on the fake.
