Does somebody know? I found this information: 1978 UK The CUre: "Killing An Arab" 7" SMALL 11 (Counterfeits exist. Original copies have matrix: "SMALL 11-A1 STRAWBERRY" AND "SMALL 11-B1 STRAWBERRY", while counterfeits have "SMALL 11-A STRAWBERRY" AND "SMALL 11-B STRAWBERRY". Also the picture sleeve on original copies have the flaps folded on the back and a round cut-out at the top where the record goes in and out. Picture sleeves of counterfeit copies omit both of these features). This is in this web: http://recordcollectorsofthewo...

		Ok, 8 years before my post i found my copy!!! I pay 50GBP for it on Discogs, and it's an original one! I'm really happy.

		So is the sleeve pictured here counterfeit? It does NOT have a rounded cut-out at the top - it's angular. Whereas there are plenty of copies on ebay that have a rounded cut-out, such as this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-CU... on that one the top of the sleeve sidebar isn't folded back, so maybe it's fake too? I'm confused!

		I have the original thankfully. And the best thing is that someone gave it to me for free.

		Bonjour ... In addition to what is described in the above-mentioned site, the engraving tracks and the central molding vinyl are different on each face ... The cardboard cover is slightly thicker. I bought mine in Australia in May 2002. There were on sale every week. I think it is the same counterfeit that 'Charlotte sometimes' promo Australian with white paper labels. Another detail: The photo of the back of this 1st edition is not correct ... The original back cover has a rounded notch (9.5cm) ... here is straight and the notch larger (like Second edn Fiction, 12.5cm). I can send the right picture if you want ...

		Hello babblebhoy and welcome to this site, but remember that it exist 15 000 copies of this single, it is pretty much. But of course some of these going around on ebay etc are probably fakes.

		a brilliant bit of info. i always thought it was very odd that i saw so many of these going around - clearly many must be fakes.

		I also have this counterfeit copy... bought in London at the end of the 90's.

		Somewhere I heard they were Australian.

		i bought a counterfeit copy at red eye records in sydney in 1996, so could be australian? although i can't think of any other counterfeit vinyl australia has ever produced. i thought it was real when i bought it, as i didn't have my copy of 'the cure on record' with me at the time and it's a pretty good fake. but as you say - easy to spot as a fake when you know what you are looking for.

		I dont know how many copies exists of the counterfeit. I own it and got it from australia. I have seen more than one copy for sale from AU, maybe it was manufactured there

This sleeve, Fiction record issue

I have one and seen a few on eBay also. This Small Wonder sleeve with square notch and issued with a Fiction release of KKA. Is it possible that at the beginning of the Fiction run of the single the printers ran a few of the â??newâ?? square cut sleeve for Fiction but by mistake still had the Small Wonder details on the rear sleeve. Iâ??m aware sleeves and records get mixed around but this could explain the square cut sleeve....and...why it ends up occasionally with a Fiction issue in side. Thoughts.....
