Only exists on CD as the "Death Decay Complete" compilation. Original is vinyl/cassette only.

If i remember correctly, the purple cover is the 2nd edition.
Label (of the purple cover) is Corrosive records.
First edition was the black cover (with silver lettering).
What more info do you need?
That is not true at all. I'm not sure on the exact order of pressings but both the green and black cover versions are from 1991 and pressed in the US. The purple cover version contains an IFPI Code and is therefore pressed in 1994 or later and was manufactured in Japan. This pressing is also quite common and easy to find. The first two, not so much.

are they silver printed cd or just cdr ?
This "label" is run by Matt McCourt. I have a copy of the Mayhem album and it's a CD-R which I'm not too sure about the standing of as the rights for this release could have potentially reverted back to the song writers now. Regarding the Wild Dogs discs these are also CD-R's and they are "illegal" because Mike Varney still holds the rights for the first two albums and Capitol/EMI for the third. He's had a vendetta against at least Mike Varney for a very long time and continues to release these albums regardless.

I heard there are near identical bootlegs of those releases and as some albums started appearing in some webstores (German ones in particular) I would like to know what I am buying before I commit to a purchase. So anyone know more about those boots and how to distinguish them from the real thing?
Search my posts as I've already explained this.

P.S: discography of this great band on musik sammler is horrible with many mistakes! If someone can fix it, please do it!
"Railway II" was released on CD by Roadrunner in the mid 80's. I have my doubts if it was actually released in 1985 but the CD does mimic the earlier set of Roadrunner discs. I actually have a copy at home which I would be happy to scan for you but it will have to wait for at least a week until I am home from this business trip.

MORGANA "Three years of Maddnes"

Is this really a bootleg?
Musik-sammler.de says so but the label is Forgotten Steel and I can not imagine that Roman (if he really has done this CD) has ever been into bootleging.

The entry is wrong. When the CD came out, Forgotten Steel offered it but the label who did the reissue is LM Records (same happened with Rex Inferi "Like A Hurricane"), which also released the original LP. The only boot is the Lady Winter "Same" CD.

Someone should correct the entry... .

HMM.

Is there a bootleg of this CD? Or better yet - is the copy above a bootleg?

I can’t tell from that photo but the matrix area does look rather wide...

Either way, I wouldn’t understand the purpose in bootlegging this CD when it's quite easily available and sells for no more then $20.00 usually.

I am 100% sure a boot of this CD exsists, although I don't know the looks of it. It looks similar to the original I have.

Which Cancer- to the gory end cd is the first pressing? Or is there just multiple first pressings? Did they really all come out in 1990 or is that just the copyright date and they really came out a year or two later like the two 1992 pressings down there?

I know that Vinyl Solution and Flametrader both put the CD out originally in 1990. There are different cover versions and repressings with IFPI Codes as well.
