Cool. I know mine are okay then. Any differences between the original and bootles or are they totally identical?
I don't own the originals, but the boots seems like very identical ones except for some blurring on the artwork.

I can try to scan the ones that I have with the booklet if needed. I hope I have the originals anyway. If someone comes upon a way to distinguish the originals from the boots it would be great.

to clear everything concerning Dealer cds that was mentioned here.

Dealer - bootlegged cd:

AND

dealer - First Strike cd:

ARE 100000% official releases with the permission of the band.
Both releases are on my label "Obscure Nwobhm Releases".
Dealer - First Strike is a co-operation with No remorse records

YES the First strike is straight from the bands master and not rip-vinyl copy or low mp3 recordings.

Dealer - first strike is the one and only Legit release on cd format. all others are not released with the permission of the band.

thanks

It would be better if you ripped the vinyl . Sound on First Strike is very bad.
I was also disappointed with other resissues. They sound pretty bad. Although the idea for reissuing these awesome albums is great , I found pretty annoying that you didn't make some effort to make these cd's sound best as possible. This way they sound and look like some cheap bootlegs. Opportunity missed and what's more people are giving money for these cd's.
The problem with this is actually that most of the albums we are talking about are fairly obscure and most people jump at a chance of a legit reissue because they know it is not very likely that another label will do it with better packaging or sound. So they buy what is available and are happy.

As for the Tyrant Art Of Music/Brainstorm Division bootlegs I did some digging around and apart from a few ebay listings and Metal Treasures database I got NO info on those. Are they truly identical? I was hoping of hunting down the Brainstorm division pressing of the first Steel Prophet album but that seems to be bootlegged as well.

the Dealer - first Strike cd was published exactly as the band wanted. the layout / tracks were made and approved from the band. I can only talk about the cds of ONR label. For other cds i have no idea and i cannot answer you.

It's specified... re-press ^^ so ... I guess ...

Maybe the malaysian guy did these new boots and hacked this ebay old account to sell stuff xD ?

Merciless has been around for quite a while, I got burned on that over a year ago, maybe two. The others are new.

Yeah, quite strange an account that's been inactive for 6 years would suddenly be selling bootlegs

well, the re-seller dr.pus was highest bidder

In the completed auctions there is also the Illdisposed cd ? Bootleged that one too ? http://www.ebay.de/csc/hunikatsiki/m.ht ... =13&_rdc=1

It can't be a coincidence that two german sellers list the same 4 ultra-rare albums at the same time.

Yakish · Post by **Yakish** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 10:15 am

....and both have all these rarities in NEW or LIKE NEW condition

Heathen · Post by **Heathen** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 7:13 pm

the hunikatsiki seller has just listed a new batch of the same CDs, so I think that dispells all doubts. When I thimnk about the people who have paid 80-130€ for those boots I don't know whether to feel sorry for them or just laugh.

Helstar · Post by **Helstar** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 8:27 pm

Somebody should try to buy the Enslaved boot since it could go for very low (I would do that myself but I'm broke ^^), to see from where the package is coming ^^ if it's really from Germany, we have a new country to add to the black list

Original??
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cobra-Warriors- ... 4161f4f884

Is there really a chance for this not to be a bootleg? I never heard of an official Cobra CD reissue. I've seen something similar around (the two Cobra LPs in one Cd) but smells like a bootleg from a mile.

Bootleg of course. In the same CD series with RANKELSON, INCUBUS, MILLENNIUM etc

Yeah, I was almost sure myself, too. I just wanted to confirm beyond doubt...
