hudsonsaul Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi,I've just bought Live Like a Suicide record. While I am waiting for it to arrive does anyone have any advice on how I can authenticate it? I've read what is written on this site, http://www.ladydairhean.0catch.com/Axl/guides.htm , but was wondering if anyone else knows anything?What I am getting is supposed to be an original US release still sealed. I'd rather not open it to see the record to confirm authenticity but that might be one of the best ways,.....? Appreciate any tips/advice you guys may have.Thanks!

hudsonsaul Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 if its sealed then you are one lucky bastard...hope its realYep it took ages to find as well. Lots of searching records stores online and calling places all across America.Thats why I'm hoping to be able to confirm its genuine without opening it.

UseYourAppetite Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 How many do you think there actually are left unopened? There are bound to have been a couple of thousand that were opened at the time, so there can't be all that many left, and there weren't that many in the first place so who knows.

hitmanhart408 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 you can pretty much tell if its fake if the front of the cover is really dark especially the logo at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troccoli Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Email the folks at eil.com. They have helped me out a few times when trying to determine if something is real or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex7 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) I had a sealed version when I sold my lot.Went for around £95.00 GBP.That doesn't seem much.
