Show us the cd =) you can check if it's the first press by seeing the inner ring (and/or matrix code)

If it has Americ-Disc matrix then it is original (at least from the 90s). I do believe Dan that it was probably pressed twice back then, I really don't think he'd lie about that (cos wouldn't he get more money if he said it was only one pressing?

) but he probably just ordered more from the same plant so they are indistinguishable from one another.

Are the inserts water damaged?

looks damaged, but thats actually the plastic wrapping that you're seeing

k, paid for it, i'll find out soon if it's early press, reissue, or boot :>

The jewel case looks 90s style, so that's a good sign

btw it has never been bootlegged, just reissued

btw btw thanx in advance for the Omnitron

Dealing with Giorgio are we?

I've already talked to him about this and I personally have my doubts that his copy isn't the repress, but you can't be certain unless he opens it and he won't.

Of course if that's where you got those photo's from...

Anyone knows the cd matrix of the (greek) BOOTLEG for Protector - Shedding of Skin?

kansa_666@hotmail.com · Thu Jun 24, 2010 7:16 am

Talked 2 a frd a while ago, as he mentioned that Entombed - Clandestine had many boots (even it's a cheap piece), and he thought mine looks funny. Now I get a chance to scan the whole CD. Could someone tell me if it's a boot?

Disc front: Looks blur

Disc back:

This CD was released in 1991, but as it can been seen form this image that it has a SID code: IFPI LI55. But the ting is, SID system is introduced in 1994, and this CD has barcode: 5018615103721 and catalog number: MOSH CD 37, if it is legit, it must be the pressed in 1991. => Confusing.

Back insert: again, looks blur

Is this a legit copy? The size of the matrix seems to be all right, but it does have IFPI

It's just an Earache later reissue ... I don't think there are boots of this common cd ?

This looks like a legit Earache disc to me, but you have a reprint. Many labels do this with their popular CDs.
