SOUTH AMERICAN 
COMPILATION REISSUES : 
ORIGINALS OR FAKES? STAR COLLECTION - VENEZUELA 
SONY MUSIC/SONO RECORDS 008
LOS NUMEROS 1 - COLOMBIA 

SONY MUSIC M2300414
In the infinite jungle of unofficial & official releases, here they are 2 cds that, in my opinion, are ORIGINALS.
These 2 rare South American presses, "Star Collection" released in Venezuela, "Los numeros 1" produced in Colombia, are a part of a series of releases taken from Sony music artists infinite catalogue. 

Both cds have been released recently in 2013, and both are officially licensed products by Sony (see back details). I opened my copy of "Star collection" and even though the pink 'Bad' artwork picture cd seems to be fake, I could see the matrix numbers on the back and I noticed too that the tracklists of both cds are the same of Number Ones (Star collection) and HIStory greatest hits Vol.1 (Los numeros 1), so these are special reissues with different artwork of the well-known best of cds released worldwide.
As I said, there are a lot of similar releases by other artists (Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, for example) , all from Sony Music. And beware, these are cheap "nice price" cds in South America, but hard-to-find worldwide, often sold for high prices.
