Blackfield II

There have been reports of eBay-sellers selling Russion counterfeits.
Be aware if an "import version" is offered, chances are that it is a counterfeit.

The original release comes in a fold-out digipack. Only the Israelian version comes in a jewel-case, but housed inside a cardboard slipcase.

The counerfeit comes in a jewelcase. The artwork is not so easy to differentiate, but the print quality on the CD label is pretty poor (diffuse, wrong colouring). On the front cover the "Blackfield" lettering use also a different colouring, it's more like a brown yellow, where the original uses more a sandy yellow colouring.
The print quality of the booklet is not as sharp as the original.
