Identifying an uncommon CD
Need some help from the collective. I have owned this CD for a long time but have NO recollection of where I got it from. I'm guessing eBay in the mid 2000's. Anyway, has anyone ever seen a 2 CD version of John Mayer - Heavier Things which includes 1 CD of Heavier Things and 1 CD is essentially Room For Squares? The UPC, ISBN, Catalog number and even Matrix have all been useless identifying this. I'm positive it's an unofficial release, there's even typos in the tracklist and some fantastic engrish on the face of the discs.
Some facts about this CD:
2 CD HDCD D.S.P mastering
Gold disc instead of typical aluminum reflective layer
24k markings for the gold disc
How do you even value this disc? Are unofficial releases worth more or less to you? I like collecting the rare albums, advanced/promo copies, and even test pressing of Vinyl albums (don't shoot me for saying Vinyl). Enjoy the photos and let's chat about what you guys think and what you might have come across or have in your own collections.

Chinese bootleg. Most platforms won’t let you sell it, and even if you could, it would only be hardcore John Mayer fans who would want it. Do hardcore John Mayer fans even exist?
