Is My Body Electric 7'' Single a Fake?

Have you established a good reputation at HL and got some Sisters stuff to sell or trade with the community? Or are you searching for that elusive ultra rare live bootleg from 1988? Ever had a bad experience with a trader on Ebay? Let us all know here. Outdated threads will be purged over time.

I've checked around, and I've not found a single page on the internet about Body Electric fakes and how to spot them (assuming they even exist). Was wondering if any of you dedicated collectors could take a look at my Body Electric and lemme know if there's anything off about it? Thanks!!

Your single looks original. Pink cover version.

Some so-called Australian re-issues exist coming with red vinyls and a "2009" print on the otherwise similar cover.

There are also some Greek so-called Body Electric singles with different content and different covers.

It's a fake. Out of sympathy I'll take off your hands for £5.00 inc postage.

Run out grooves are usually one way to spot a fake. This one should have "Rise and Reverberate" on one side, "For Spiggy" on the other, and "Bilbo Tape One" and the catalogue number on both.
