.Militza. Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 It's a pirate, but I like the lettering. haha
watsername182 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Something similar to this happened to me as well but with a Coldplay album. I tried getting my mum to translate what all the Chinese says but she could only make out that the cover basically says "Green Day: American Idiot". The rest is a bit to blurry to read. :/ Is there anyway you could get a clearer scan of the CD itself?My guess is that it is a bootleg.I mean the back says it's released by Sony Music but obviously Green Day are on Warner/Reprise or Adeline.Plus the fact that it has the International Superhits photo and the CD art is just weird.But still a great find! The disc plays all the right tracks flawlessly, and it doesn't seem like a bootleg because the paper and everything is good quality. Does anyone know what language the text is? I know it's not Japanese because I own a Japanese copy...It's definitely Chinese.
CaseyStead Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I'm convinced this is a bootleg by four things. The fact that it's supposedly from Sony, the atrocious spelling mistakes in the copyright warning around the edge of the actual CD, the way the 5 parts of Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming aren't listed, and the spelling mistake of "American Ldiot" and the abreviation of "Wake Me Up".All the other wierd things just seem tp support this. Still pretty cool
Insomniac186 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Can't you just give it a listen?As I said, it plays the whole album flawlessly.
jenni Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 woo that's strange... but I'd like to have it! It's really unusal AI + International Superhits together!!!
Anja Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 lol That looks like a really bad copy. Really odd.
Lauren Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 WTF? LOL! that is SO weird! but awesome, i love it! omg
94th nimrod. Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I've seen this before, can't remember where. The picture on the CD reminds me of the picture of all 3 of them playing with instruments made of wood. Hmm.. I need to find the pic and post it here, maybe it's the same forest(same photoshoot)You mean this? Anyway, I think it's cool
persons Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 i just realized something, instead of "american idiot" it says "american Ldiot" and instead of "wake me up when september ends" it says "wake me up" i think it's a bootleg, but still an interesting find.
bluewang Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 This is awesome! I mean how on earth could a Chinese bootleg come all the way to a foreign country?Anyway I'm from China and here is how the legal import looks like:I've got one. It doesn't change anything inside, not to mention adding Green Day's Chinese name on the original cover.... This one just puts on an extra sticker introducing how cool the band is and everything. And according to the sticker, Warner Music Hong Kong Limited seems to be the company which owns the copyright.My first post:)
