CD MATRIX: BRMCD 022 : Mastered By Nimbus

And it comes with this cover

About the bootlegs, there are at least two, with both covers. the one with the cover above has the normal "Greek matrix" - band's name / album's title, I guess it's the same with the other cover version, but I don't remember exactly about that one, sorry!

... Let me know if you find an extra copy of it

Was that cover above ever used for vinyl? or is it only the official CD cover? I know the original vinyl version has the other cover.

does anyone own (and can help me) with the following cds?

1) dark angel - darkness descends on combat
2) sarcofago - inri on cogumelo (blue cover without the live songs)

the matrix is same as cat. number, 88561-8114-2, at least on the one pressed in Japan (that is stated on the bottom of a CD, apparently this CD was pressed in USA with same cat. number too)

A lot of japan pressings are odd that way.

Matching Catelog and Matrix Numbers.

im not sure if any of the two "combat" cds of darkness descends are legit ie if that album has been officially released on cd anyway.

however i got the cd that says "made in usa" and the cd matrix is different than the catalog number.

thats a known press but this copy is too expensive imo. You can score the original LP released by black power if you are willing to wait and bid that much. I have seen 2 copies sold on ebay this year for less.

Unisound released that album on cd (two presses actually diff covers).

plus i would really appreciate it if someone tell me the cd matrix of the metal blade cd release for Liege lord - master control

The 1998 re-issue or 1988 original?

The re-issue is split into three sections.

There's a barcode style row of lines: IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 27490A 14167-2

I can't find the 1988 version right now, but let me know if you really need it and I'll look harder.

I've also got the original Roadrunner Pressing if you need that as well...

Yeah, the 1998 re-issues don't state that they are 1998 pressings.

They only have the original years, (1988 and 1987) printed on the inserts

The same goes for the "Burn To My Touch" CD, which is only availible on CD format as the 1998 re-issue.

I think the copy you are looking at is the German press which is distributed through Steamhammer/SPV.

I have the North American version.

I'm actually on my way out of town again tonight for work, so I doubt that I'll have time to look for my original 1988 Metal Blade pressing, but remind me and hopefully I'll remember next time I'm back at home.
