I don't believe so. I have this and did lots of research on it before bidding. There are people who bought this and well before the bootlegs even started and theirs is the same as this: a deep red, with a clear center and the matrix C. THR 015.

You sound like the guy selling that copy for $160.

Did anyone else read this and just do a massive "facepalm" while doing so?

Oh yes i read it some days ago! I sincerely pity people who just faced with the bootleg problem. How many disappointments they have yet to go through...
And the most sad thing they (naive metalheads) continue supporting all these bastards who manufactured counterfeit crap. I have just one question WHY would not do even a quick search for information before buying? I always do that, yes, it takes some time, but all the fuss associated with money and fake cd return also take time, even more!

I wish, then I could have made around $50 profit.
I'm not saying I'm 100% sure this copy is legit, but if this indeed is a professional bootleg, why wouldn't they just add the MPO 01 @ at the end of the matrix like the black one? If they are able to reproduce an official CD this authentically, they should have had no problem adding that MPO 01 @ at the end.

Then why lots of bootlegs have USDM matrix ? Or just band/album name ? Or incomplete matrix missing just "Made in/by ..." ? Or some stupid little typo errors (like for Cloven Hoof new boot or Target) ?
Ps. With this I'm not saying that the Sentenced is a boot. Nobody knows actually (I don't trust who say "I got this when it was out" and most of the times they are max 30 years old or even YOUNGER than the album itself !)

Yep. The thread truly shows how naive many collectors are, and many people in general. I met so many people that live in a world where everyone is 100% honest, sadly it's a sad little dreamworld that will come crashing down on them some day.

black or red disc with THR 015 MPO 01 @ is the safest way to go with that Sentenced.

They are probably the same idiots that graze the Metal Archives forum.

Ouch, this is a nightmare for those who still have to find the originals...
Hilarious feedbacks from that seller profile:
"Not sure if it's original (rare item, seller has several). Still good. Thanx!"
"I doubt this is original (reversed logo) but its very vell done, and a rare item"
*double facepalm*

In other words:
"Seems like f**ucking bootleg, but i am in a good mood now and have no money and time to wait/search for original, so everything is ok!"

No need to comment since you guys took the words out of my mouth. I'm glad to have bought these many years ago and am not concerned to be honest.
