Bee Gees Living Eyes CD Looks suspicious

I bought Living Eyes right when it came out...that one is definitely fake! Was supposedly the first Pop CD released. I had a music store when it came out...was thrilled to get it. Came and went fast! Was a stiff album....they could not have made many. I like it a lot though.

 

Far from the first released, it was however used for demonstration purposes back in 1981 and featured in a BBC program called Tomorrow's World that year. The commercial release is listed as having been issued in August 1984 according to the Music Master CD catalogue, 2 years after the format was first launched.

 

I knew Living Eyes was demonstrated on BBC's Tomorrows World in 1981. I wasn't dreaming.

Wikipedia quote.

 

The image of the brothers holding up the CD, player, CD booklet and LP sleeve is also classic 1981. Robin's everchanging hairstyles, in particular, firmly dates it.

 

Well... My fault. The thing is that in 1981 (and in 1983) I lived behind the Iron Curtain. There was no BBC Tomorrows World on our local TV station.

Thank you for confirmation.

 

Saw another one of these fakes on eBay right now for the low, low price of $80:

Seller has 100% feedback! I wonder if he knows he's selling a fake...
