I like how he says "these cd's are silver factory pressed and not cd-r bootlegs ,but also says "Some of these titles are out of print and some are extremely rare to find. Please be aware of what you are looking for before bidding..."

At least the Black Knight on CM classics is official as far as I know and there is a japan CD w/OBI of the first 220 V that is not super rare so chances are good that's the one he has. So no, theyre not all bootlegs.

Yeah, pretty 'clever' description. Silver pressed CDs = totally official, that's the equation, isn' it?

Yes, Black Knight is official. 220 V still doubtful, like all those recent Jap w/OBI editions. So at best 34/36 are bootlegs and that's 94.44%. Decent guy.

Well blank CD-R's are made in factories too and are often silver ,so technically they are "silver factory pressed".

Does anybody know whether RAZOR's "Armed And Dangerous" EP rerelease by Metalized Blood Records is official?

Same question for the rest of their releases: all official or bootlegs?

Where is that label based actually? 'cause they've put out Nuns have no Fun EP as a PIC LP and the guy from Painkiller Records (Belgium) used to sell a whole bunch of them on eBay (couple of years back). At first I thought it was him, but he just could have bought a lot. Anyway, he made good money with it, some people obviously believed it was a rare orginal item in the beginning...

I think the label is based in Belguim as well. They also put out Mercyful Fate's "Time" on vinyl, which is a bootleg as well, but it's nice to have a copy on vinyl.

There's a whole bunch of JAP pressings that are bootlegs: DARK STAR, FIFTH ANGEL (both), HEIR APPARENT (One Small Voice) and many more that i can't recall righ now. Beware! Those bastards have done a good work, you should examine the CDs very carefully...
