STORMWATCH - Patriot

Maybe someone can explain sound/genre of this band? Everything I found is :
In 1988 Dave formed the Metal outfit Das Raaven (having only been playing Bass for 1 year!), the bands name was changed quickly due to a following of Neo Nazis! The new name was Stormwatch, this time the band went on to achieve great local success recording a very well received album "Patriot" and supporting bands such as Saxon, Budgie and Wishbone Ash. Stormwatch was a bit of a stepping stone for some former members, Nick Barker (drums) went on to join Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgier, John Slater joined ex Iron Maiden frontman Blaze Bailey and of course Dave joined the reformation of Wytchfynde.
Thanks.

Has anybody seen this strange version of Kill 'Em All before? The CD is from MFN, the inserts are from Phonogram. Normally I would be sure it's some kind of boot, but there are two things that make me wonder: the CD looks original and it is a bit different than any other MFN KEA CDs - it has "KJF-31-867" printed on it - so it is not just taken from a normal MFN release. The barcode on the insert matches the barcode on the MFN version...

I would have thought so too, but the CD is different than any of the three MFN pressings and the inserts are different than any of the Vertigo inserts :)

I'll just return it.

Hi!

I have an original CD, which I bought back when it was released. It has the matrix as above but the inner of the booklet isn't white inside, it has lyrics!

No scans but photos... Added links to my original post. The difference of the two pictures is because of using a flash on one pic and none at the other.

Yeah whatever... The cd is exactly the same except of the matrix. My matrix is CDP-BERLIN 85-7568 01 & yours is CDP-BERLIN 85

Funny huh?

Strange...

However, it's not a good sign that there are no lyrics in your "booklet", plain white inner is never a good sign. And for the matrix, well, that's quite easy for bootleggers. Today I got a cd which surely is a bootleg but has an MCA matrix (Femme Fatale - Same CD). So I wouldn't give too much just about the matrix.

About the Hittman CD I can 100% for sure say that I have an original, since I bought it back when it came out and in a very reliable shop. Bootlegs weren't very common then.

There actually IS a Hittman bootleg circulating but I don't know much about it. I have seen it on some "Metalbörsen" but never looked at it closer. So I can't say anything about your CD.

I didn't say something about your copy, ok? I know that white inner is suspicious that's why I asked about the cd. But the matrix of yours is suspicious as well. For example Sortilege's - metamorphose spv/mid price series original is : CDP-BERLIN 04-7540 02 same type as mine's. Bootlegs were common for such known titles, I have some Angel Dust boots which I bought 15 years ago... But back then they weren't bad Greeks to blame on them...

Thanks for your help.
