And that is exactly what is on the other side of the booklet pictured here.
Well, I have every other Scratch CD as well and all the front inserts are the same.

Are you trying to say that all of them have missing lyric booklets?

I find that hard to believe.

No, I don't have sufficient knowledge to make such claim. But I know, that the CD that comes with the lyrics sheet is 99,99% original. They do not make boots with matrices looking that good even now! I guess we'll never know the origin of these sheets, maybe a distributor in some country decided to include a lyrics sheet on his own?

The bootlegers are getting ridiculous. Soon we will have bootlegs of Metallica CDs on Vertigo.

I think the lyric insert was made after the fact and stuck inside. It wouldn't be that far different from a lot of Japanese CD's only made by a previous owner.

Great, new generation of bootlegs... Soon the market will be flooded with them just like with Deathrow Deception Ignored, Coroner Grin and other bootlegs.

It's funny that when I ask him he replies "no it's not me, and I don't know who makes these bootlegs" :lol:

I'm starting to think HE IS azintex-music :roll:

Why people keep bootlegging the same old stuff like Razor and Accuser?

Accuser - a band which catalog, apart from the debut EP, is mediocre at best! :roll:

It looks good to me as well.

If you are looking for value make sure it's not a promo and comes with the OBI.

I wonder if his Aggressor CD is a bootleg one? I never have seen a legitimate copy of that one so it might as well be a bootleg.

Did anyone deal with the seller twister74356 before? He seems to selling lots of rarities for rather good prices...

Ask him for detailed photos and you will see.
His actual auctions looks like new made boots. For example both Destiny and Liege Lord. I might be wrong, because he made a photos from distance (guess why) and it's hard to recognize matrix area
