Cross-checked by a reliable source then !
If I had such an item, I wonder if I'd dare to play it on a turn table... you know, the fear of scratching it [magnify]

Which is an obvious fake...

Cover is from Forever Young Lp color - filtered and the title "A Victory of Love" is a basic font.

Same vendor have also this "mega rarity":
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alphaville-F...EAAOSw9~RXJdj6

Both 179,99$. Obviously a guy from Israel loving photo-shop and gullible buyers ...



Of more interest is the CD-video of Red Rose, which was spoke about a few pages back, being referenced on cd-museum.de.

From automatic translation: "This CDV was produced as a test pattern by the record service in Alsdorf (DE) and then less than 10 discs were replicated at the Teldec Press in Nortorf (DE). Three copies were used, which were then used in an exhibition in Italy in 1987."

Ref:
CD-V PRO 01

Also the 4'56 duration for the Dub Mix is coherent with the 1989 CD Various - This Is Your Music (Ariola 259 671) which feature this track on CD (without saying it's the dub and having the length wrong)

Those picture discs seem to be just bootlegs. The red rose video disc is imho no fake
