I am sorry to say that while the CD on the photo may or may not be original (difficult to see), the booklet looks fake. No, it does not look fake - it is fake. different colours, different paper, different placement of elements (compare how far the Shah text is from the edge).
Btw, it is quite a shame that ebay has this new privacy thing going on, which doesn't allow you to see the members nicknames in the feedback anymore. I used to contact the defrauded buyers from time to time, which now is impossible.

Yes, you're right. Cover is copied, I bought it as that, but CD and back cover is genuine. (should have wrote that)
I have also stated it in my auction, that it does not have a booklet: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SHAH-Beware-198 ... 1130176078?

I challenge you to post a high quality photo or scan of the matrix. It is most likely that you simply have a well made russian boot which you cannot differentiate from the original.
I have both russian bootlegs ("german" and "japan"), so I can differentiate the original from them
The first is that I got from dirk. These are the detailed pictures of it:
Exclusions proves the rule. I don't hesitate that dirk is unhonest ebayer and will never justify him but I just wanted to say that may be I'm the one of those few (the only one?) who received original CD from him And this is a kind of lottery. But I hope that I will never meet such experience again. It was not very comfortable to pay so much money and wait for the coming of the CD worrying if it is a boot or not...
It looks original, but the bottom of the disc looks like it has resurfacing swirl marks, and the top looks dirty from fingerprints. I tried cleaning one of those old P+O discs with water on the top to get price sticker residue off the top of the disc one time and, don't do that, it removed some of the ink from the top of the disc, the ink printing seems to be low quality on those discs.
