Here's the matrix on that (the HOM board won't let me sign in....)

DURECO [01] PRO 017

I don't think there is a boot of it. There is one of Auf Weidersehen done by none other than that vegascds jackass (or whatever he calls himself these days) under the guise of "European Import" (or Spanish, Italian, Dutch...whatever country he dreams up when he boots them). It's a CD-R boot, though. All of his "import rereleases" are CD-R boots.

MCD 192772 MPO 01 @

Sideshow posted scans of artwork / CD on HoM forum somewhere, I think that there's more than one bootleg, one comes with different cover art and album order, other ??

Yah, give me a bit and I'll see if I can dig the scans up again. I've got 'em on a CD-R somewhere, I'll just have to find it.

That fucking bootleg sells for $50.00 as well...

Maybe, I should sell the copy my friend has without telling him.

Hi guys. Here's a few things I own that I'm suspicious of:

Sigh - Scorn Defeat (was new and bought from eBay seller demen1104)

Graveland - Thousand Swords (New and bought from Deathgasm on eBay. Worth noting because the text "Thousand Swords" on the front cover is silver)

The Chasm - Deathcult For Eternity: The Triumph (new copy from eBay seller wwpins; was the only seller who had this. The words "SONOPRESS" and "THE CHASM" appear in the ring however not the album title.)

Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi (It's a factory sealed press of DLS version from seller erwilson326. I've very suspicious because this guy's from Taiwan and he has many rare items not to mention he goes out of his way to mention they're not fakes. He does however mention when a bootleg is a bootleg and most of his items are used. It's in perfect condition but feels old. Matrix says "Tocano DK 40462" and elsewhere on the ring "IFPI LP51" and "0014").

Necrophiliac - Chaopula: Citadel Of Mirrors (Sealed copy from a store called NetSoundMusic. It looks and feels very old despite being sealed but then again I bought it for $25 plus shipping. Selling only one copy.)

Ras Algethi - Onericon: White Hypnotic (Bought from Amazon for a steep price. Factory sealed and in perfect condition but felt old. Seller was horizons50 and the store is Horizons Music and they say they specialize in hard to find and out of print CDs/LPs. Only one copy was being sold. Booklet says at the left corner "WLR 95007". This is on the front of the disc and "WLR95007 appears in the ring. I only ask about this one because it's so rare.)

Phlebtomized - Immense Intense Suspense (expensive used copy from Amazon seller levelingup that was in GREAT condition but felt sort of old. Selling only the copy I got. Label is Cyber Music. Matrix says "Dynamic 40823 * Cyber Music CD 12*")

Autumn Tears - Love Poems For Dying Children: Act 1 (A sealed copy of reprise version from eBay seller metalpinss. Sold for a suspiciously cheap $18.90 + shipping and the store had at least two complaints of a bootlegged version of a Mortal Sin record and about three complaints of "fake", "burned" or "duplicate" CDs despite the store explicitly claiming they sell only "ORIGINAL CDs NOT FAKE CDRS ALSO WE DONT SELL ANY RUSSIAN CDS". I'm convinced I got a fucking fake. Ring/Matrix number is "DIDX-092232" and elsewhere in the ring it says "IFPI L328")

I have an extra 'dead mint' original copy if anyone wants to buy or trade??

That's odd. I bought my copy from Greece (the bootleg nation) and it says NM 019" and also has "12099602" as well although there's no "SNA". A guy from eBay who's listing the album right now says his has those numbers/figures but that his isn't a bootleg (as he says he bought it from CM Distro years ago). I'm confused as I'm CERTAIN my copy can't be legit. I got it from lastempire who I was warned about after buying it and who also has loads of copies of this (and uses the "I'm not sure what pressing this is" card).

Ok, the difference between the Sydney release and the bootleg I know of is that the bootleg has the order as La Terreur / Suprematie (Sydney release has it the other way around). The bootleg also has small pics of both albums covers on its front booklet.

Here are the scans you wanted of the Sydney release:

What CD is this? And who's the seller?
Even lastempire sells original stuff from time to time, he just changes "I don't know .." with "this is a 1st press, no bootleg"

Not all Greek sellers sell boots, I've gotten many rare and original CDs from there (Last Descendants, 1st Anacrusis, 1st Intruder, 1st Grinder, Axiom, ...)

True. That's where the seller I got my copy of F.T.G. - After The Promise is from, and should be soon getting two more rare little beauties from that same person!
