Thank you my friend. Just one hint from the above pictures only 4 items were bought through Ebay. It is difficult to find good records at decent prices at Ebay.

3 CDs this month:

SLINGBLADE "The unpredicted deeds..." (been a gift - good Female fronted band from Sweden)
METALWOLF "Down to the wire"
RADICAL DREAM s/t (pretty good US Metal from 1991...check this sh*t: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRF4iFhloUs ...

)

MW and RD are Retrospect Rec. releases, so I'm not sure if they're boots or not. I was searching for an appropriating proof but all I could find was rumors been posted somewhere on the net.

Are they real CDs? I have heard Restrospect Rec. (used to) release CD-Rs, I don`t know if that`s true.

Retrospect Records CDs are silver, it's all the other CDs like Time Warp, Evil Eye etc, those are CD-Rs.

But I would not support Retrospect in either way due to that very shady side-business. Also it is not certain that all Retrospect label CDs are properly licensed from the copyright owners if I remember correctly.

Retrospect released CD-Rs too. It's a shady label operated by brothers Sam & Adrian McCaslin. they blocked me from their auctions on ebay cause I left neutral feedback telling them about the CD-R rip off...

Impressive, you learn something new every day...

and they are responsible for a plethora of counterfeit replica bootleg CD pressings which they claim are 100% original. The plan was to duplicate rare Melodic Rock and Hair Metal CDs for 50 cents apiece in Russia and sell them as originals (even though the matrix numbers look totally fake). As far as I know all of the supposedly "manufactured in Italy" Time Warp CD-Rs are coming from the same place too...

Adamantine is a completely underrated album! Even without a vocalist ... too bad they never added vocals! And Lake Placid, without words!

I read your review in Metal Page, and managed to find a copy of the album, when I heard all the record I was totally disappointed. I mean there is 2 good tracks in a Hard Rock vein, but the rest is krautrock, but average kraut rock not early Metal. "The brutal power of metallic sounds arranged with epic keyboards mixed in the background of partly outstanding songs guarranteed them a place in the eternal history of the german Heavy Metal pioneers" ahahaaha this phrase is not suited at all to this album.

White Spirit-Back to the grind 7"
M-16-Locked and Reloaded CD (heaven and hell recs)
Paradoxx-Plan of Attak CD reissue (´cause obviously never in my life I was gonna pay such a stupid quantity for a regular record musically speaking)
Warfield-Conquering the black horde CD
Watain-The Wild Hunt Boxset
