This is a classic topic.
The counterfeit front sleeve is simply a VERY BAD reprint.
Additionally, the genuine has STEREO b/w MONO & the counterfeit has MONO b/w MONO.
Keep the far left one.

Now, the BIG question: Would you eBay the two bad ones without telling what you know?

Carster, what you've identified as 'fakes' both have mono and stereo sides.

Where does that leave us? Is it possible you're not right...or put another way, wrong?

ugh, could they make it more complicated?

You have to do it once...trudge through, you can do it. It's easy after the first time.

"That's what she said".

I've got both, genuine & counterfeit. Your sleeves don't lie (1 x genuine & 2 x counterfeits). Now the records, this could be a mix job, genuine records & fake sleeves (!?). I need scans or HQ photos of the labels to tell you more.
If the true counterfeit records indeed has STEREO b/w MONO that is NEW to me (mine is MONO b/w MONO).

Love the warning sticker on this promo copy of GHS .

Yeah I was being flippant...the remote thought that it was a 'mixed job' also occurred to me, or, that they 'wised up' and changed it to 'stereo'...can't be that hard to do if they've gone to all the other trouble!

One final input. Tell me the matrix numbers of all three records, that will lead to a final conclusion. Take your time reading them and be very PRECISE. EVERYTHING etched in the vinyl. (A scan would do the trick).

I have a lot of vinyl but nothing by the Stones that is rare. I am not even sure what Stones vinyl I have (45s or LPs) since they are stored in the back of a closet. The only Stones vinyl I know for sure I have is the London Years Singles box set because I bought a CD player soon afterwards (I was late to the CD party) and hardly ever played the set (or any vinyl) after buying the player. I don't even have a turntable anymore to play them if I wanted to (also no longer have a CD player to play all my Stones disc - which I have many). Digital music may not be as high of quality, but it is good enough and it is very conveinent.

Thanks for the offer Carster, I'm just on vacation for awhile...another 10 days so I'll look up the matrices when I'm back...now I'm REALLY curious as well! ALOHA!

WOW, thanks for the treacle-toast Boston! Nicely done!

I don't have anywhere near that in terms of the picture disks.
