Notes

Counterfeit copy of A Factory sample

Labels read:
Aside - "Tears in their eyes"
Beside - "Occasional labour in culture"
Seaside - "A piece of the cake; 3 songs that spell FAG"
Decide - "Lips of sulphur"

1) This set comes in a poster sleeve. The original was gatefold and doesn't open up into a 14" x 14" square.
2) This set is not shrink wrapped (although it comes in a resealable plastic bag). Original was shrink wrapped in thin crinkly plastic. Like a food bag.
3) Matrix etchings in slightly larger writing than the original.
4) This counterfeit copy has no raised serrated vinyl edge around the label - the original does.
5) The stickers are a perfect copy but they look `new`. They do not have `fasprint ` or any other printing on the reverse.
