You're right actually. They're not boots at all. Found out they were 2006 re-issues.

Yah, looks legit to me. That little box you see on the lower side of the matrix should say Ibermemory or some such.

I just got another Vendetta - Brain Damage CD copy to replace my current (original US press, but in poor condition) ... and guess what, the CD comes with original matrix (N 0121 0 P+0-226-A 10-88 - German press), but I bet anything that it never saw the Noise records - the matrix area is "fat" as in other Greek boots, and of course it lacks the design old euro Noise releases matrix had ... The inserts also touch kinda weird, but I couldn't tell the difference otherwise ... :S So the question is, how many CDs with original matrix numbers is already out there? I know that thallos81 mentioned that there's as well a copy of Dreamweaver with original matrix. I suppose Blind Illusion too ...

Why are the fucking greeks doing this?

Who are they trying to fool?

What's the point?

Bastards...

sovdat,

not sure if anyone likes black metal in here but the first Burzum cd has been bootlegged by a malaysian guy with the exact same matrix as the original. Pretty bad since that cd always sells for 200+ $ at ebay and im sure most copies are fake.

The font is a little bit thinner and thats it, you have to ask for a photo of the matrix area to be sure.

avenger, its two specific people behind all bootlegs from greece.

That doesn't matter to me.

It's giving the entire country a bad name as far as I'm concerned...

I can't remember the name but I've gotten one Blind Illusion copy from a guy from Malaysia, which would probably fit in this category too ... can't remember who he was right now ...

If it's two specific people, can't someone track them down and do something to stop them? Like file a lawsuit or break their legs.

Are you talking about the recent "re-issue'"?

This was never initially released on CD by Iron Works.

Here's a copy of the bootleg:

Yes, that would be the one I have. I'll ask the seller. Haven't seen the Greek bootleg (unless it's actually the one I own) so I can't compare.
