Anyone knows how to distinguish between the Grinder counterfeits and originals? Thanks

If I'm not wrong some pages ago it was already described

Right, thanks, I completely forgot

Anybody knows what edition is this? I've bought it from reliable seller, who told me that he got that CD for a long, long time. But the tracklist is misprinted (Sun Of Evil) on the backcover and on CD itself. Matrix code looks like old french matrix, but CD is not from 80 for sure because there is an e mail adress on the back and new Noise logo. Maybe it is a bootleg?

It's an official reissue from 2000-ish

but whether the last re-release shouldn't have bonus tracks?

It's a legit CD, just not the first press.

There's an IFPI Code as well so it's definitely not from the 80's.

Noise has pressed all their popular stuff on demand since the beginning, there has never been any reason for bootlegs to appear. These ones came out around 2000, but just before it was remastered w/ bonus.

Today I received Golem from Protector. Now I have it twice, the difference between the 2 CD's is one with barcode and the without a barcode on the back. Which one is the first pressing?

Thanks!

Obviously the one without barcode.

I'm mighty sure Noise didn't put barcodes on their first editions.

Does any one know, if the Metallica - Kill 'em all 1st megaforce print come with a long box originally (as distributed from the label), or it is the store that resealed the cd with the long box?

Im not sure, but I think megaforce put the packaging on because I saw 2 other megaforce cds: Anthrax- fistful of metal and overkill- feel the fire sealed in the same type of plastic blister pack on ebay before.

The guy collecting metallica said there were no long box from megaforce, it was given by the record store. It's kinda of fishy in a way I don't mean he's lying. Maybe his press was really like that.

I don't think blisterpaks were added by the manufacturer, pretty sure they were used by retail shops as anti-theft mechanisms. Longboxes are a different story.
