Yes, it was me, remember it well, we've talked with Helstar about Stormwitch CDs

Indeed. Wasn't it heathen who asked the first time as well? Or maybe it was yakish...

Wasn't interested back then so I didn't even notice the subject. Apparently I was not the only one who missed it as it was our fellow forum member Emperor Zola who added it on Discogs as an original.

I think it's original Oz pressing, looks like this one that is surely legit:

Yes, it's official first re-issue on OZ (with two booklets) from 1998. I have a copy for trade/sale if someone interested

Might be. But this guy sells so much bootlegs and shit that he shall not be supported at all.
Get a copy from Amazon instead.

Ebay auctions need a comment section, maybe the counterfeit product awareness among buyers could increase by that feature. I can already see angry Ebay scammers defending their fake crap with excuses in front of all potential scam victims.

I don't oppose to what Warepire says (for sure he has a point) but if you decide to deal with this seller, I think you should ask him directly. As far as I know, he is quite trustworthy and sincere when he is being asked if something is bootleg or not. Of course i wouldn't bet my testicles on this...

Nevertheless, I don't think this is a high risk CD neither.

Just buy the CD else where. It has been officially re-issued but this seller deals almost exclusively in bootlegs and shouldn't be supported.

Damn!! Ha,ha...He has a shitload of them, indeed!! The ratio is at least 1 out of 3!! All I have to mention for his defence (as you might suspected I know the guy) is that he always gives a warning ("later edition", "later private press" etc) when it comes to a bootleg and he doesn't try to pass it for original. On the other hand I think that it is fair enough to support mainly true professionals who are trying to a make a living by being 100% lawful and not encourage/reward anyone who is involved in any way with the bootleg industry.
