Counterfeit 'Amused to Death' Vinyl lp?

Recently I won a bid on Ebay for a Roger Waters, 'Amused to Death' vinyl lp. I was so excited!! The record was supposed to be a Sony 180 gram, and looked as if it were original.
However, within listening to the first three minutes of side A, I could tell it was not. Flat sounding, sounds mono(maybe it is). Can someone tell me if there is a way to identify if it is actually a conterfeit copy?
Thanks!

The original had two pressing both from the UK or Holland. The metal part was from Doug Sax at the Mastering Lab. Look to the leadout groove you will see plainly stamped not scratched into the vinyl. TML-M

The labels on my LP's say Columbia not Sony. Have not heard of a Sony pressing but if there was a Japan pressing of this LP. I am sure that if it was real it would have had an OBI sash and would be even more collectable than the UK pressed LP.
