Beware of fakes!
It is known that a lot of fake videos were spreaded around in the en of the 90’s.
The real promo tapes have the following details:
- The plastic black box has the brand logo of Virgin on the inside and he inlay of the box is on shiny, glossy paper.
- The tiny, vertically printed text about the cover and photography, near the fold line must be sharp, otherwise it’s a colour copy.
- The tapes know to be used are SONY ES30NT (batch#3651926) with a sticker on tape, typed text:
DAVID SYLVIAN
1. INK IN THE WELL
2. RED GUITAR
3. SILVER MOON
4. ORPHEUS
RT: 21 MINS
PAL - Long, front sticker also typed
Known forgeries were copied on KONICA tapes, E20 with batch numbers 0712950708 and 3632/10SW349 printed on it and NO stickers. If you have the same batch number than it is definitely a fake.
