Bootleg, right?

The red colour doesn't look right...

yes, same with his other stuff like burzum, carbonized etc ...

PS there are 3 versions of Merciless 1st press on DSP, all with the exact same matrix but a minor difference at cd typeface

All those cds are boots, Wargasm, Burzum, etc. he even keeps the listings as "private" so people can't see that he sells them over and over again ... (he's the same of Target and Blind Illusion too)

Hmmm, what's the third? I know there are versions with and without barcode.

Clearly CD-R.

Yes I had a Metal Church cd on Omerta label, CDR too (and half of it didn't work anymore after some years).

This is the second time that I speak to a guy who claims that this CD, widely regarded as a bootleg, was bought directly from Fringe.

Could this be that this is actually a legitimate repress?

I have dealt with this guy a few times privately, he has always been honest with me if something is a bootleg or not and where it comes from.

Yeah, he seems honest, on another auction he has a completely legit Shotgun Justice and he says he bought them both from Fringe. He seems credible.

Maybe Fringe did some repress of Open Hostility in a different pressing plant...

The font on it looks almost exactly like the font on the shotgun justice bootleg that I have, I'm sure its a bootleg.
