Fake

From The Evanescence Reference

Meant to describe something that doesn't actually exist. Generally refers to Evanescence music compilations released by independent companies. Examples of fakes include Not For Your Ears, Le Nouveau Gothique, Ultra Rare Trax Volumes 1, 2, & 3, etc.

Ultra Rare Trax Volumes 1, 2 & 3

in 2003, One of the more elaborate and worthwhile compilations was produced. Ultra Rare Trax features most of Evanescence's pre-fallen era Demos and EPs in very good CD quality. The CDs come in Digipack style cases with Fallen era promo photos (mostly of Amy) and are of moderate professional quality.

The compilations state that they were produced by Wind-up Records "FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY. NOT FOR SALE", however the presence of the last track on vol. 3 suggests otherwise. They were made in Hong Kong.
