I really want to empty my pockets and buy one of these expensive amused to death vinyls, but I don't know how to identify a genuine copy.
This is one which ended recently from ebay is legit? What are the signs?

"If shrink wrapped will still have large black sticker with titel, barcode (5 099746 876104), track listing. Below this states "Limited Edition 2 Vinyl Set mastered direct to laquer from original analogue tapes" On Columbia label cat no 01-468761-20. Note no printing on spine! Anything with CBS rather than Columbia and/or 180g sticker is a fake. Vinyl for genuine copy is decent thickness probably around 130/140 grm.
Now also counterfeit colored vinyl editions have been seen on Ebay."
Click on the image to see more pictures. That should answer all of your questions.

Someone is selling a copy with a "made in England" sticker on the cover. Some copies were made in England?

If you are still in the market for a copy, you could pick this re-issue up. This company have a good reputation.

Yes, saw this on another forum, where the speculation is that the SACD would not be 5.1, which makes no sense to me. Why bother with SACD and not 5.1? Anyway, the vinyl makes PERFECT SENSE!

Even without a 5.1 mix the SACD has potential to sound fantastic. After SACD (these days) is marketed as an audiophile format.
