U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind - the original and the counterfeit

This is U2's magnificent All That You Can't Leave Behind. The record on the left is the original and the one on the right is counterfeit.  The difference is in the lighter hue as well as the shrink wrap for the original which is more precise and fit. 

This is the sleeve. Same thing -- the original is brighter while the counterfeit is darker. 

For the back of the liner notes, the counterfeit features the album's serial number. That doesn't appear on the original.

The vinyl for the original comes in a plastic lined sleeve for protection. The counterfeit doesn't. I just added the plastic for more protection.

The original record shows the Island UMC label while the counterfeit makes use of Island. Plus the label at the center is rough.

You'd think debating the audio quality of original and counterfeits are one-sided. Not completely. Some are all right. But the fake All That You Can't Leave Behind is bleeping terrible. Just horrible. Don't let your stylus touch this piece of crap.
