Title:	The Best of Bowie
Territory:	New Zealand	Record Label:
Catalogue #:	NA580	Release Date:	1980
IdbD Ref #:	999999999
Sleeve Type:	Single	Sleeve Finish:	Matt
Label Colour:	Aqua	Label Text:	Black

This is a counterfeit, made in Australia, and though an almost direct copy of the New Zealand issue, says on the label that it is made in Australia.

For comparisons purposes, see New Zealand (IdbD Ref#9201) and Australian (IdbD Ref#11064) official issues.

Identifiers:

1) The label says it is made in Australia. The label is the NZ design, yet the font style is more similar to the Australian.
2) The cover says it is made in New Zealand, though provides a different address for K-tel than the officlal NZ issue.
3) The cover colour is washed out, and slightly enlarged so the edges of the graphics are missing to some degree (front left, rear both sides).

Shooky has reported that:
1. "The channels are reversed"
2. "This is also one of the worst sounding pressings i've ever heard, the sonic equivalent of the sleeve!"

See IdbD Ref#22706 for a label moulding variation.
