[OllieAssault]

Thallos again... so a $100 cd (sold also for 40 Euros in the past) went double :

That guy is crazy. I used to check through his auctions and make a list of all interesting things he sells and then search for them one by one to see if I could find the cheaper *lol*

When did the Pyracanda CDs become so expensive?

There was a 50€ "buy it now" on this CD which I disabled by making a bid. Guess the seller should issue a "thank you note" to me for that:

If I remember right, this was on ebay 2 month ago and went for 20€ or something

Nope. 40-45E from a German seller.

How can you tell it's him again? Is there some way of seeing what he bids on? Or any ebayer for that matter??

Yes, I guess 2 auctions (I didn't see that cheap one). The seller was from metalpage forum.

So what I am wondering is - was there really the original Out of Tune press, or does it just exist as a bootleg (made in 2000+ or so) that was made believe to be original???

I highly doubt it. I don't have the CD anymore but I remember there was no IFPI code and it looked identical to the Stone CDs that were for sure pressed in Switzerland in 1989 (also with matrix ICM, the cat # and strings of seemingly random numbers). It might not be from 1988, but it is certainly not from the 2000s.

The pressing on OUT OF TUNE is very old ... I got my copy YEARS ago (between 1991 and 1992 if I remember correctly). They were opener for Metallica on the "Justice for all tour" in Berne, the capital of Switzerland). So for sure NO bootleg.

pricekiller also sold it 1-2 months ago, and the winner may be randomcoils or one of russian rich. the winning bid may be $80 ~ $90.

I dont think there is a case for claming that it is either a bootleg or a very latye pressing, but the problem is that it is widely considered as the first press, and I am yet to see any evidence that it preceeded the UOF pressing.

Newbuchadnezzar proved wrong as per usual.

The Under One Flag pressing is licensed like nearly every other release from the labels catelog. I think it's safe to assume that the Out Of Tune press came before it as licensed pressings tend to be released later then the original label ones. If even a few months difference it would still be later.
