CD Condition: very good
oh no now the bootleggers are pre-scratching their discs to make them seem more authentic!

I hate it when those sellers might call bootlegs as re-issues. Sometimes I send them questions and they might not be even sure what it is.

Well he also has Merciless - Awakening counterfeit for sale which he also believes to be original. He has strong beliefs, doesn't he?

I just found a scan of this new bootleg of Sultan and also MP "Melting Point". Hope it will help somebody in future to identify this crap:

I'm also pretty sure that this was a boot too

seller said to me he doesn't know, but he also had that Sultan CD recently, and the auction layout looks bootlegish
funny thing is that the polish guy from extrememusicblabla123 bought it

I've already got some boots from this seller nanitensammlerin (The Nuclear Assault I discussed here and Drive CD) so yes, this is definetely a boot, as he is in the supply chain. He was kind enough to return my money though
And what is funny is that the original wasn't sold for much more;)

The MP looks horrible (lots of writings where they shouldn't be, unless the original is the same ?), the other one seems too much well done, also the mirrored matrix ... fuuuuuuuuuuu ....

Not, original looks totally different and much more neat of course! These bastards not even tried to make an identical copy as they (or maybe other) done before in many other bootlegs.

The bootlegers are idiots. Let's take the Grinder boots for example. They put so much effort into making the matrix look credibly that they forgot to print everything else on the CD in the same color as in the original. Or maybe they ran out of black and blue ink?

Both prefixes come from the same plant although I'm not sure what the deciding factor is when deciding which disc gets what.
