Bootleg Warning Thread

I see any harm in selling that Jag Panzer bootleg. It's over 20 years old, has different cover art, it's not a widespread identical boot made to deceive people into thinking it's something that it's not. It's collectible in the same sense that Reborn Classics, etc, releases are.

Plus, Ample Destruction is not in print. The "No Posers" or whatever version is supposed to be a bootleg as well, I take a lot more issue with that because it's recent.

Is there a legit/good cd release of this album ?!

Azra Records version is a boot too right ?

Yes, the 1990 Metalcore and 1991 Metal Blade pressings are official. I've never seen the Azra version you speak of, but I'm pretty sure they never officially released it on CD.

I have the Metalcore version of the album and i am 100% sure that one is official. The bonus tracks have different audio quality among them but are still more than listenable on that edition. The packaging and booklet is VERY bare bones though.

I have my doubts about this being a bootleg too and have discussed this many times before. Barricade was a legit label. I think this is just a case where the band didn't feel like they got a fair deal in the end so they slam the release as a bootleg. Who really knows though?

I had that version for awhile and I can confirm that it looks like any other release from that time. Even if it's a boot it was made by a proffesional label at a proffesional plant.

I also had the Metalcore versio and the quality was similar. I left myself the Metal Blade version which for some reason i deem to be the most prestigious

yep, I recently saw pyracanda boots sold on eBay by the usual suspects. Maybe finished listings search will help.

Also, a while back, a guy from the States was selling Two Sides Of A Coin boots one by one, getting top dollars for them at first.

Anyone aware of a bootleg version (CD) of Inner Sanctum-12 A.M. ? I got one copy of the album few months ago, from a used records store (so it can't be too recent). Metal Treasures doesn't mention any, but the sound quality is too low. Does anyone have the original LP or a proven original CD to share his experience with the sound? The latter could help with a matrix number, too.

Probably not a bootleg, that Inner Sanctum CD just sounds like crap.

... & Inner Sanctum CD from '94 is still somewhat easy to find.

Here's more of Pyracanda boots:

There are no Inner Sanctum CD bootlegs to my knowledge, the legit CD is really poorly made.

Ok guys, thanks.

Then I have to live with it.

Someone must inform this seller (or at least his potential customers) that the Barricade version of "Ample Destruction" is a bootleg:

The time it took you to post this you could have told him yourself.

Either way, I've given up telling sellers that their listings aren't accurate because they either ignore you and don't change it, start an argument with you and don't change it or say they will change it and never do.

It's a lost cause.

Lost fight against stupidity? Impossible!!
