Look at the record in the third listing carefully.  Look at the 2nd picture of the record, above the Geffen logo.  See that white lining on the outside of the record label (not part of the paper sleeve)?  That shouldn't be there.  In this case though I highly doubt the seller knew it was fake.

It could also be explained that the printed label on the fake version was printed with insufficient print bleed that meant when punched out left a slight white border. (The labels would be printed 40-up+ on a sheet and therefore and variance when die-cutting the label could cause a slight white border.)

Or am I missing something else?

Of course all things are possible, but my source on this one is none other than eil.com.  I've purchased many things from them over the years, so they told me how to spot a fake.  I should ask them about Live Like A Suicide.
