There are two pressings of that cd with no barcode, one comes from Dureco Holland (same as mine) and the other is yours, printed by DADC Austria (see here

Is "MASTERED BY DADC AUSTRIA" not present in your matrix code ?

Quick question - is this Blind Illusion CD on Combat a bootleg or the real thing?
Here are the photos of the CD:

This is supposedly the original CD on Combat licensed from Under One Flag. I heard there is a bootleg with the identical matrix so can anyone tell me if this copy is original?

Yes, that is the original CD.
Here's the photo of that identical bootleg I made, not the best quality unfortunately but you can see some difference ...

Question about Stone - s/t CD on Mechanic:
Has anyone seen a copy with a "Manufactured by Sanyo" matrix? Just wondering since Nuclear Assault - Survive was released by the same label, same year and that one is Sanyo. I've already got a Sony DADC and a Sonopress copy, but my completist curiosity has gotten the better of me

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but the Mechanic/MCA pressing of Stone debut is an american pressing and Sonopress is an european pressing plant. I don't think I've ever saw a Sonopress disc made in the US.
My copy or that Stone CD on Mechanic has matrix

Sorry I may be mistaken, kinda drunk. The one I mistook for Sonopress is the matrix you listed. Some of the CDs with these "W.O." matrices say "DISC MFG. INC." right, or am I mistaken? That's what I was thinking of. My other copy has a DIDX (Sony) matrix.
Though I do believe there were Sonopress plants in North America, some of the Avanzada Metalica CDs were made by them iirc?

Out of curiosity - is this the real thing - seems like it went for pretty cheap regarding what is being sold:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... AUS%3A1123
Sorry for the long url. However - is this offer the real thing - ie: the real first pressings of the first 3 Defiance CD's?

Yes, they're real.
