Vigotone FAKES/Counterfeits

A label of Excellent reputation , which has subsequently been both heavily cloned and counterfeited. I have made the decision to differentiate between cloned discs where they have made some effort to amend either the title or artwork to those which are attempts to sell themselves as original items.

Identifying Genuine Article Check to see if you have Genuine Issues or to help update.

an excellent additional resource Vigotone.com a site dedicated solely to this label.

Unfortunately not all counterfeits are musically identical to the title they endeavour to copy. I have identified where possible which discs have been cloned and which have been remastered. I should however say that whilst a title may have been remastered this does not mean that the quality has changed , it may just be that there the space between tracks is greater.

I have found several batches of FAKES so far and have grouped them together here using the matrix number as a rough guide.

Fuzzy artwork , the disc art is very close , however the matrix shows this to be an EEC manufacture rather than Taiwan or Australia as were the originals. Additional the only example I have found has bee remastered changing the TOC.
