Clones & Fakes

Cloning or copying of bootlegs has been endimic from the start, but with copying of CD's becoming so easy a plethero of fake releases started appearing. Some fairly repackaged others as Fakes usually degraded in some way.

If you are looking for originals use this as a guide and don't forget Diamond Silver CDR's look like factory pressed discs so if it hasn't got a matrix number avoid it.
