That list is by no means exhaustive. Unless your full time job is scouring the web for bootlegs you will never be able to make a complete list of everything.

I havent seen Keltic cd yet, but someone mentioned on a forum that the "liner notes" are actually taken from previously published interview

I have Sacrilege"Whithin the prophecy",seems 100% legit.
About Dark Age,in the Snakepit interview(January 2011),the singer does not comment on Keltic records.

As for that Dark Age CD I retract my statement about band approval. Pretty much sets in stone that I will never buy another Keltic release. Should be obvious after the Deathwish and Morbid Saint fiascos but I would love for Dark Age to get a proper reissue.

"Seems" ? By the look of the cd or what ?

I really doubt it but I have to confirm. Is there really any legit Ebony CD reissue? Cobra and Rankelson, 2 on 1, circulating are definitely both bootlegs. But how about the Blood Money Cds? They still smell "bootleg" from miles away but they are a bit different compared to the previous ones.
An ebay seller of "Battlescarred" had the nerve to describe it like this :"Rare Ebony CD. Only 500 were made" Unless he has inside information from the bootleggers(!!!

) he is another one saying whatever bullshit comes in his mind!

Both Blood Money "Ebony re-issues" are Greek boots from around 2004-2005

Is there a legit CD reissue of MYSTIQUE - Black Rider containing the EP, 7'' and demo?

Most possibly is made by the same guys that are responsible for the Solar Eagle (EP+demo) Cd bootleg. It became available for sale by the same sellers, at the same time with the aforementioned.

It's not so simple anymore. I think I've mentioned it before, but the scam is now international. There is a circle of bootlegers (coming from various countries) that alternate the roles of sponsor, manufacturer and seller. Yeps, there are some greeks playing leading part in this, but the same goes for some germans (and from some other countries, as well). At least this is the unconfirmed info i got from two different sources. But if one makes a search to track the stores that have these bootlegs for sale, he will probably reach to some useful conclusions himself.

I don't think it really matters who is selling the CD as they could be shipped anywhere before being sold but for what it's worth I've seen the CD sold by 3 different sellers and all were from greece.
