matrix: CD849714-2 15

There are two pressings of that cd with no barcode, one comes from Dureco Holland (same as mine) and the other is yours, printed by DADC Austria (see here http://www.musik-sammler.de/media/338142)
Is "MASTERED BY DADC AUSTRIA" not present in your matrix code ?

The How much does XY LP / CD cost? -topic seems to be broken.. So, what is a good price for Death SS "The story of..." CD on Minotauro?

Quick question - is this Blind Illusion CD on Combat a bootleg or the real thing?

Here are the photos of the CD:

This is supposedly the original CD on Combat licensed from Under One Flag. I heard there is a bootleg with the identical matrix so can anyone tell me if this copy is original?

I think it's original, looks very authentically

Yeah, even the latest boots do not look that good. original.

Yes, that is the original CD.

Here's the photo of that identical bootleg I made, not the best quality unfortunately but you can see some difference ...

Question about Stone - s/t CD on Mechanic:

Has anyone seen a copy with a "Manufactured by Sanyo" matrix? Just wondering since Nuclear Assault - Survive was released by the same label, same year and that one is Sanyo. I've already got a Sony DADC and a Sonopress copy, but my completist curiosity has gotten the better of me

Heathen · Post by **Heathen** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 10:00 pm

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but the Mechanic/MCA pressing of Stone debut is an american pressing and Sonopress is an european pressing plant. I don't think I've ever saw a Sonopress disc made in the US.

My copy or that Stone CD on Mechanic has matrix
MCAD42175 W.O. # 70069-1 A

Sorry I may be mistaken, kinda drunk. The one I mistook for Sonopress is the matrix you listed. Some of the CDs with these "W.O." matrices say "DISC MFG. INC." right, or am I mistaken? That's what I was thinking of. My other copy has a DIDX (Sony) matrix.

Though I do believe there were Sonopress plants in North America, some of the Avanzada Metalica CDs were made by them iirc?

Out of curiosity - is this the real thing - seems like it went for pretty cheap regarding what is being sold:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... AUS%3A1123

Sorry for the long url. However - is this offer the real thing - ie: the real first pressings of the first 3 Defiance CD's?

Yes, they're real.
