Hello,
I have a question for Intrada, La La Land and FSM (the label, not the website). Where are your physical media pressing plants located? I ask out of sheer curiosity because I happen to live in China (and currently have The West Wing and Titanic winging their way here from both La La and Varese) and use a shopping app called Taobao. It's really big here, sort of a poor man's Amazon. It's owned by the giant Alibaba corporation and sells anything from 1$ US candies to cars and airplane tickets. Being China, you can also buy tons of fake things on there and today, I found a person with an online soundtrack shop. Looking at his product list, there are tons of fake copies of La La Land, Intrada and FSM limited edition scores. I can get Lost in Space, the Superman Blue Box and the Ron Jones TNG box sets for about 8 USD each (after local currency conversion).
I already own two of those in a storage space back in Canada (I dislike Lost in Space) and prefer to support the companies anyway instead of buying fakes, not to mention the fact that the quality on a fake could be questionable at best. However, they must be copied from somewhere and that is why I ask. They have a whole whackload of titles including some rare and out of print stuff like Towering Inferno and other older FSM goodies. The Goonies and Ghostbusters are also there, so Varese is not immune.
Thanks for your time. Obviously, I was a little peeved at seeing these copies but I live within two blocks of a shop where I can get the Star Wars Blu Ray Saga for $15 and a complete Beatles box set for less. Nothing can stop the copies here (and I am guilty of buying movies on DVD that are still in the cinema because I prefer not to see the Chinese government censored versions).

Of course, fakes are everywhere here but usually, only relatively in demand items. I can't see the Ron Jones set being in high demand here. You can also find cheap real products on that app that fall off the back of a truck when leaving the factory. This is why I asked where the plants were located, otherwise some Chinese has access to tons of scores to reproduce right down to the booklets.

I use the app, which doesn't give out links. However, I found a seller called "Filmtracks". It is not the same seller in the links above. When I look for the same products on the browser version, I cannot find them. The seller does show the Lost in Space set. Try this, it's watermarked onto the LIS picture..

Weird, the Superman Blue Box is the same as the link you posted. His La La ST:TMP set also shows as a physical set. I know that they sometimes use photos that do not reflect the actual packaging but I just wanted to make people aware. I love living here but the fakes are amusing in most cases and annoying as heck in this one.

I am not into Chinese scores but I can definitely look into some for you. Being on the ground here may make things easier. Shoot me an email:
