Just to let everyone know, I've now come to the conclusion that any CD with a Matrix Number starting with "USDM" is indeed a bootleg.

I've confirmed this with a few collector partners that I have.

Beware there are several different albums bootlegged under this Matrix Number mostly pertaining to Thrash/Speed sub-genres.

A perfect example being sold on eBay is here:

Matrix: USDM 2600 BB 24087-2

Anyone know how to tell the original Lazarus Sin "Intracranial Mass" CD apart from the Greek boot?

The greek bootleg has the albums title as the Matrix Number on the center ring.

The original has a combination of numbers.

When I get the chance I'll check to see what the Matrix Number is of my copy.

Does anybody know if the first DEATH SS albums have been recently bootleged on CD? I just bought Black Mass yesterday and unfortunately it doesn't look very official.

Ah, the greeks finally bootlegged it in attempt to meet the demand...

I can't remember where I saw it, but on someone’s sale/trade list, a legit copy was listed for $300.00 USD a couple weeks ago and I couldn't help but laugh.

I'm sure glad that I picked up my copy a couple years back for $30.00 USD.

Lemme know if you ever want to sell it!

Also, look closely at the picture for that auction, check out how bad a job they did of the logo on the disc... terrible...
