I am 100% sure it is a fake i have asked for a scan of the BPI plate from the seller to see how bad / good it is! Whoever made it must have had a sense of humour to use red velvet as the backing fabric!!!!!!!! I can say that i have an original BPI presentation disk for FALAA which belonged to Boyd Steemson the then SISTERS manager and it is nowhere like the one advertised! I am also very sure that FALAA never went gold in the UK! It did go silver though!!!

Well, if they have their feedback set to private I would stay away from it. Certainly when there is a negative feedback in the past month. Might be goods not delivered.

Indeed it is mising the union jack and the sleeve repro (similar to cassette sleeve) no hologram though (later editions may well have them) but dating back to 85 / 86 /87 i would be suprised. The colour of the backing canvas is also very wrong but quite amusing!!
