What is the Matrix Number?
my white logo them's matrix is

didx-006518

and the upc is 016861955021

i have to say the my copy has perfect swirls, so its not as cheaply made as a greek boot. my best guess is that it's an asian boot from a few years ago
It is most likely a Columbia House Record Club pressing. No one is going to make a bootleg of such an easily available album. I had this problem with a Sabbat CD not long ago, and later found out that the DIDX matrix indicates it was pressed by Sony in Indiana, and they pressed most of the Columbia House discs. I have seen some Sepultura discs that are the same way.

Roadrunner's logo has always been red though...

This album usualy sells for $50 or so

Maybe not all copies came in a gatefold cover...?

Seeing the bidding history one can easily understand how badly this guy wanted the comp

Even if i had made a bid at 500$, i'm pretty sure he would have won...

Ion- Did you bid on it?
Yeah, it was definitely a 2-man race. 3rd place @ $65 is about what i'd expect the album to go for. It's a very cool album and doesn't turn up all that often, but it's never commanded a 3-figure price tag in the past.

Oh no, i didn't bid at all, i was just hypothetically speaking

I met him the same time I met Brian Slagel at a music conference in France & he was ok, bought me plenty of drinks, but he's totally a business man.. nothing about the music.
he must be desperate for $$$, obviously all those nu-thrash bands they're signing aren't making them any money..??

Wow, what a messed up bidder. Look at the times. The auction was still at $18 when he put in all his bids. What was he thinking?

Yeah, but both Columbia House and BMG cut a lot of corners when pressing their discs, maybe white was cheaper, who knows? CRC discs from the 80s/ early 90s never look exactly the same as their retail counterparts. they pinched pennies any way the could to be able to give those kind of deals. But look for a small "CRC" on the booklet or tray card somewhere, or an additional catalog number on the disc that begins in DIDY-******. It is definitely a licensed US pressing, if it has that matrix number.

Wow..

That's probably the first time I've ever seen someone selling a master tape on Ebay. Or anywhere. I wonder if that's the multi-tracker of the final mix? If it's the former, it would be really cool to own and make your own remix, seeing as how the original mix was a bit of a letdown..

50 US$ no. This album usually sells for 15-20 € not more. I saw 3 copies over the last two months 20 € is already high....but ok, 20 € are almots 50 US$ in moment

nightsblood · Post by **nightsblood** » Sat Jul 05, 2008 12:22 am

Fils- perhaps it's a regional difference. Here in the US that album has consistently brought around $50 for years. I could see it being cheaper in Europe since more copies are available over there.

This is not a multi-track tape. It’s the original stereo mix, mastered onto a Sony PCM-1630 Digital Audio Processor. The Output from the PCM-1630 was recorded on a Sony DMR-4000 Digital Master Recorder using Ampex 467 Digital Audio Tape.

Don't really have to much cash to spend right now anyway.
