Verifying Legitimacy of Academy Promos

Hello everyone.

Quick question: How does one verify whether or not an Oscar Promo is legitimate?

I have a pretty good eye for spotting fakes, but I was hoping to get external insight into this subject.

Case in point, I finally acquired a copy of the "A.I. 2-CD Academy Promo" which I'm 99.98% certain is the real deal...but there's that lingering little voice in the back of my head (the .02%) that can't help but be skeptical.

Thoughts?

...and thanks!!!

I have got the A.I. 2CD Oscar Promo.

First, be sure it is a pressed disc, not a CD-R and not a silver colored CD-R!

On the first CD, this text should be on your CD:

On the CD above:
A.I.
Vol. 1

On the CD below:
Composer: John Williams

The same as the second disc, besides the Vol. 1, it must be Vol. 2

The first CD is inscripted in the inner ring:
DOC-32978-1 A.1.-1 / Mr. Master

The second CD:
DOC-32979-1 A.1.-2 / Mr. Master

The A.I promo has got a front cover only! No tracklisting! You can look at this site, how it looks like: http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=35733

Look at Warner Bros. Pictures DOC-32978-1 A.I.-1 / DOC-32979-1 A.I.-2

The others are fakes.

I hope, I could help you.
