Hey all! I just purchased some Beastie Boys stuff used from Amazon and I would like to verify that these cds are real and not counterfeit. I'll post what it says on the back of the cd. I would appreciate your help! :)
Paul's Boutique: on the shiny part on the back it says "91743", and two IFPI codes, 1677 and L043, and it says "Mastered by EMI MFG"
Check Your Head: No IFPI codes, and everything is written backwards. It has the CDP number backwards, "CDP7989382 7-92 Disc MFG INC <H> 98938 6-1-3" backwards, and it says "Capitol JAX 23C" on it. It also says "W.O. 25599-6" backwards
Ill Communication: Also no IFPI codes, also written backwards, the CD number 28599-2, and says "EMI JAX" on it. Also has the numbers "MO RE1 L4418K" and "01-1-2 Y" backwards.
Hello Nasty: Two IFPI codes, 1675 and L043. Has the number "72 4383771622RM" on back too, as well as "1-2-17" backwards and "Mastered by EMI MFG".
To the 5 Boroughs: IFPI codes 6011 and L383, and number "7325 724358457100 E40516-16 MT"
The Mix-Up: IFPI codes 6100 and L385, and number "AT 7301 094639408528 C70510-06" and it also says "M1S9" backwards
Paul's Boutique 20th Anniversary: IFPI codes 50F3 and L328, the number "C02" really small, and "DIDX-226204 1"
Does any of this look fishy to you? If mine matches up with yours then I'm sure I have the real deal. Again, I appreciate any help you can give me :). Thanks!
