How to tell you are buying a real or fake It's About Time CD

Tip for buying an It's About Time: Only buy or bid on listings with Photos - if they don't have photos, ask the seller to send you some. The guide below I've made that includes photos and obvious fake tell-tales will help you in distinguishing from a real from a fake

Background: I have been a fan of the Jonas Brothers since 2006 and started collecting their CDs and talking with other fans who also collected their CDs. I found out about their first album It's About Time around 2009. Not being from the US I looked on eBay and found one for sale, I placed a hefty bid to win a copy of It's About Time. I was ecstatic when it finally arrived. However, it was not long after I saw someone selling an It's About Time album with ways to tell if yours was actually fake (ironically from an auction of a fake CD). I was devastated mine was in fact fake, but fast-forward and I managed to nab an autographed copy from the Jonas Brothers official website a few years later. Here's how you can tell if the one you're looking at for sale online is real or fake:

This is the official album that was released in stores in 2006. This release includes the 3 tracks that were added just before store release as the record execs wanted them to do covers of the band Busted to gain attention from customers who were also fans of the band: What I Go To School For, Year 3000 and Please Be Mine (re-recorded from Nick's solo album Nicholas Jonas, and also explains why Nick's voice in the three tracks are more mature and he is no longer a soprano like he is in the rest of the songs on the album.)
