The only bootleg I know of has the typical album title matrix.

Hmmm. It would mean it's an original then? Weird - I have not seen it for such a price. Hope others will jump in to and hopefully compare with their copies. From what I know the seller is not a bootlegger so there is a chance this is original.

Just remembered there was a discussion about this CD earlier in the thread, here's a quick link: http://www.thecorroseum.com/phpbb2/view ... &start=135

I have not seen an original copy of this masterpiece so I have no reference point. Anybody can say?

Legit second press.

Okay - I have stumbled upon the two Heavy Load japanese CD's and I am wondering if what the seller is offering me is the real deal. Those are very hard to come by so I would not be suprised if they are not. However I managed to get the photos of the front, back, back insert, the cd itself and matrix. Here they are:

These are for the "Death Or Glory" CD. In my opinion it looks authentic but I have never seen the real deal so I might be wrong. What do do experts/owners say?

If you care about completeness you are missing the OBI strip for that CD.
You can ask him if there is a mold IFPI code that starts with 78, if there is it is 100% legit.

I do not really care for Obi strips and he specifically said that he does not have them for both releases. So I wanted full photos hoping that from them it could be determined if this is the genuine article.

The numbers I got from him are:

Front side matrix: FG822F SA
Back/mirror matrix: IFPI L462

Hope this additional info and the photos help.

I have an extra copy of "Death Or Glory" that is of course authentic. Not that I've ever seen a bootleg of this specific pressing anyways...

What is your offer?

Sent you a PM with the offer. I checked around other places and it seems like the copy he is offering me is the real deal but I will hold back on that after I get some expert votes.

Edit: If you did not get the PM please inform me in the thread - I will try to contact you via e-mail if possible.

A little help here, if someone have Tyrant CDs form Battle Cry Rec. to compare.
My friend purchased 3 cds (Rulling..., Running Hot, Fight...) from a Russian fellow...the matrix is very strange only says: Tyrant BC 033 and it's kind a azintex boot or maybe ORG but 3rd league pressing plant.

Just noticed something fishy about my Severed survival CD (Autopsy) with the banned cover. Cover also has "Parental advisory" on it.
CD itself is black with purple print. Also the 'inner ring' is black. Matrix codes read 'mastered by mayking' and 'CDMVILE12'.

Problem I'm having is: the matrix is printed upside down...

Out of curiosity's sake - wondering if this:

http://www.ebay.pl/itm/LIEGE-LORD-freed ... 767wt_1397

Is the real Black Dragon pressing or just the recently released bootleg.
