It is generally accepted by collectors that this is the world's most counterfeited album. With more than 30 official releases, and countless unofficial copies, it isn't an easy task to figure out what is genuine and what is a high quality fake. As such, we have gone through great lengths with our research to assure the authenticity of this release. What follows is a list of points concerning the steps we took to validate and authenticate this album.

This album has NONE of the counterfeit characteristics:

Some of the more common characteristics found on COUNTERFEIT COVERS:

• Covers with a brown border around the front cover photo are fakes.
  
• Covers with a bright yellow tint and the word "STEREO" printed in black at the upper left are fakes.
• Covers withOUT George Harrison's shadow-visible to his right of where he stands, near the edge are fakes.
• Covers with red, blue, and yellow dots, unmistakable under the top of the back cover, are fakes. The dots are used by the printers during the printing process. On originals, the dots are in a different area and are not normally visible.
• Covers for the stereo issue that list Love Me Do and P. S. I Love You, among the two columns of tracks on the back, are almost always fakes. Only a couple of authentic copies of these versions are known to exist.
• If either the front or the back cover is matte (lacking gloss) it's is a counterfeit.

Some of the more common characteristics found on COUNTERFEIT DISCS:

• Labels that have "THE BEATLES" and "INTRODUCING The BEATLES" separated by the center hole are fakes.
• If the width of the vinyl trail-off -the gap between the end of the last track and the edge of the label is greater than one inch, you have a fake.
• Any copy with black labels that do not have the rainbow colorband, that are printed on glossy paper stock, are fakes.
