Notes
Pirate version of Closer.
The outer sleeve looks the same as the official 1980 Factory UK vinyl release.
Label differences from the official 1980 edition :
-missing "A Fractured Music A Factory Record" (from top of the ring)
-missing band name and album title
-missing "Published by Fractured Music"
-"FACT. 25" is replaced by "A/B JDC02"
Includes single sheet insert with printing on both sides, one side has the song lyrics.
Artwork from the 2007 reissue was used to layout the inner sheet side with the titles, hence mentioning Clifford Press as printer, of course not used for this counterfeit issue...
This version was later released with an extra poster.
Probably from .
The printing company on the insert was taken from the UK/Euro remastered LP edition and is of course fake too.

If this is definitely a counterfeit, it's a damned good one. Very heavy vinyl, high quality sound and very good sleeve and inner. It's VERY close to an official JD release!
