How can I tell if it s a first CD and how can I identify a genuine CD record?

How to distinguish genuine from pirated.

1 The number of songs in pirated films is relatively large, generally 16-20 songs on 1CD and more than 30 songs on 2CD. The genuine version is generally 1cd, about 10 songs.

2 The songs on the genuine CD are only the latest songs, while the songs of the pirated films include old songs and even songs by other artists in addition to new songs.

3 **On the stage, pirated films are generally around 10 yuan, while imported CDs are generally more than 15 yuan.

4 There are few genuine VCDs, and when genuine CDs are released, only 2-3 MTVs are recorded. A small number of singers gradually recorded MTV of other songs after the release of the new **. So, at the time of the release of the new **, there was** all the VCDs of the songs MTV that were absolutely pirated.

5 A compilation album consisting of 1-2 new songs by each singer must be pirated. Record labels do not release such compilations.

6. The genuine film is exquisitely made, clear, and feels good. The pirated film is vaguely printed, the shell is soft, and the weight is lighter.

7 From the point of view of quality, the sound quality of pirated CDs is poor, and the MTV pictures of some songs of pirated VCDs are made up randomly, the lip shape does not match the lyrics, and the sound effect is poor. Pirated films are susceptible to damage.

The original packaging paper of the first version of the CD will be thicker, or it will be a double sticker, or a single sticker, but the reprint will cut corners, the packaging bag is thinner, and then the sticker is omitted.

CD boxes sometimes cut corners, such as the first version of the AYU-MI-X III 2CD version was originally a thickened box, but later there was a batch of reprints similar to the European version of the 2CD box, the early Japanese boxes were basically thick, and the thin boxes must have been produced later.

The first edition is the version of the first year of CD release, and the reprint is a certain year after the first edition is released, and it is reissued under normal circumstances.

1.Visually:

Domestic tableting is relatively late, basically 94 years ago, imported tablet pressing, domestic sales. Generally in the early days**, there are not many tablet companies. It is easier to distinguish, and the European and American versions are mainly German silver circles, Swiss silver circles, deep flying silver circles, sf, 2From the weight on **:

In the early days, it was heavier, generally more than 15 grams, more grams, the pirated film base was light, the printing was blurred, and the font of the inner circle of the CD was particularly good, and there was no way to compare it with the inner circle of the original CD, the original ** font was clear, and the paint was generally UV glue-based, unlike the paint of the current **, very fine words could also be printed very clearly. The box is also thick, so it will feel heavier in your hand.

3.Observed from the issuing company:

The early CD versions were mainly divided into Japanese Sanyo version, Japanese Sony version, Japanese Tenryu version, Japanese Toshiba (TO) version, Japanese Mitsubishi version, West German version, French version, American version, Australian version, Korean version, and Hong Kong local version.

4.Observe from the cover of **:

Each one has a fixed name and cover, and if the name is not the same as the cover, it must be piracy. For example**"Red", he can only be called "Red", if someone tells you that there is a ** called "Blame You for Being Too Beautiful", then even if his repertoire is exactly the same as "Red", it is also pirated.

5.Observe from the anti-counterfeiting mark:

Any imported audio-visual products that do not have the anti-counterfeiting mark of audio-visual products and the anti-counterfeiting mark of China National Books Import and Export Corporation must be illegal audio-visual products. The imported video products are marked as being imported by the China National Books Import and Export Corporation.

Now the so-called first CD is actually a reprint, and the price of the first CD of the real DG company is now very high. DG also has a cheap series, which is also cheaper. First of all, the domestic imported version can not be compared with the imported version in terms of envelope and CD quality, first of all, the record packaging is not original, and the current technology of the domestic genuine CD production line can not catch up with foreign countries, and it may not be as good as piracy in sound quality.

What the boss you met said is basically true, but you shouldn't add the first edition of the word, because it should be an imported original, the real first edition is vinyl discs, most of which are sky-high, and the current original CD is to convert the analog audio signal to CD audio for publication. The domestic version and the German imported version must be different, it can't be said that the imported version is pirated, and it can be regarded as a regular manufacturer, but if you are used to the packaging of regular DG, it may be a little difficult to accept psychologically, and it feels no different from piracy. However, there are also some genuine manufacturers in China when they are introduced, retaining the original style of the record, such as the series produced by Jinwen Baidai can be said to be the best in the imported version, not only the inner cover is the same as the original, but also a very detailed Chinese translation, the disadvantage is that there are too few tracks, but they are all classic versions.

In my opinion, instead of spending money to buy a lot of pirated or domestic imported versions, it is better to buy less and write imported originals, after all, the original collection is more valuable and high-grade! It doesn't matter if you just listen to the ** version and don't pay attention to the version, after all** is the same.

My level is average, and I will express my next humble opinion in an attitude of discussion and learning.

The first is to get the definition of the term "first release" right. A "first release" is an audio and video medium (including vinyl and CD) that was pressed from the first master disc when a recording company released it. Foreign record companies will release audio and video products in different regions and at different times, in this case, there will be the name of the first edition of country X, but the real first edition depends on the place of ownership of the record company, for example, EMI is a British company, so his family is released in the UK first, that is to say, the first edition will be in the UK version.

Tyrach and Warner were first released in the United States, and the first editions of DG were in the former West German and German versions.

Usually early discs will have the version code visible in the inner ring code, for example, the record house file number 123-1234-2 has an "a" after it, < 1 >, <01 >. The place of production or sale of the record is to be printed on the disc (marked ** production), and like Terac Records, it is more special, there will be a region code (1-14) in the inner ring, and there will be an engraving (A1) to identify the first few discs pressed by the master.

I haven't learned how to read the later pop records, because I bought a lot of them and I couldn't find the mark.

Unprofessional and ugly to see! Wait for the masters! Passing by and saying that there is no score, it is difficult to wait for the master.

The difference between the first edition of the CD and the second edition, in fact, it is difficult to distinguish between second-hand discs, and it is easy to distinguish between new products.

1. The original packaging paper of the first version will be thicker, or it will be a double sticker, or a single sticker, but the reprint will cut corners, and the packaging bag will be thinner, and then the sticker will be omitted.

2,The box sometimes cuts corners,For example, the first version of the AYU-MI-X III 2CD version was originally a thickened box,But later there was a batch of reprints similar to the European version of the 2CD box,The early Japanese boxes are basically thick,The thin box must have been produced later。

There's no money.

That's a very professional question.

1, look at the label: all genuine have a circular laser anti-counterfeiting sign issued by the Ministry of Culture, in the early years it was a small sign, and now the new ones are all large signs (the original version of the legal import, such as the introduction of the picture, there is also this label and a Chinese label paper tied to the outside), there is that the signature can not say that 100 is genuine, but there is no basic is not genuine. See Appendix 1 for the specific identification method of the label.

2. Look at the variety: Many well-known ** have not yet been released in China, such as the "Lord of the Rings" series, the "Star Wars" series, the "Godfather" series, the Sakura "Forrest Gump", "Broken Arm Mountain", "Six People", "24 Hours" and so on, so if you see these ** in a ** or store**, you can basically conclude that they are selling pirated copies.

3. Look at the version: large Xinhua bookstores generally do not sell pirated copies, and genuine copyright agreements are usually unique, that is, a variety will only be issued by one manufacturer at the same time (except for the public version), d5, d9; Plain pack, boxed pack; The silver version and the gold version are only a few versions, so if you see a different version from the large Xinhua bookstore or the one that can be determined to be genuine, such as a completely different packaging, a different number of discs, and a different distribution agency, you can basically conclude that it is a pirated version.

4. Look**: The main cost of genuine is the copyright fee, so different manufacturers may have a large difference in pricing, a d5 can be cheap to 5 yuan, expensive more than 20 is normal, but if a seller sells all kinds of d5 at a price, d9 is sold at a price, it can be concluded that it is not genuine, because the genuine ** system is not like this at all.

5. The hot code is ironclad evidence: the genuine never hot code (the so-called hot code is the SID code left by the production line that deliberately burns off the inner circle of the disc), because the genuine version does not have the problem of being afraid of tracing the source of production, which is clearly distinguished from the popular hot code of piracy. However, not all genuine bezel has a visible code.

6. Look at the material: cross-regional spelling of materials is a popular practice in the piracy industry, such as: the picture of the French 2 area and the subtitles of the Hong Kong 3 area; The picture of the United States Zone 1 and the national distribution of the 6 Zone, etc., the genuine version does not have this concept, so it can basically be concluded that it is pirated when you see such a flaunt.

For TV dramas, as long as you see the words HDTV on the screen, don't think about it, 100 pirated, this kind of disk is made by directly capturing the TV signal.
