GOTHAM CITY 7" question

Well, I got this one at the KIT Metal market for 20€, at a seller that had a special Scandinavian Metal bow full of 7"s, but I'm wondering if it's a bootleg or not, since it's on colored vinyl, a thing that was rare in the early eighties but is a trademark of bootleggers these days.
Any information please?

Thanks for the information! Well, 20€ is too much for a reissue. Rare or not, il will end in my trade-list sooner or later...

Yes, it's a bootleg. There are also 220 VOLT, TORSTEN, SILVER MOUNTAIN, HEAVY LOAD and SHAKESPEARE in the same series.

Is this the famous PHOENIX RECORDS? I think, they unofficially reissued the ARC - War of the Ring on blue Vinyl.

I think Phoenix is specialized in NWOBHM only, so I doubt it...

I've seen the 220 VOLT 7" at the same seller, so thanks anyway!

This was a run of Swedish-made bootlegs from "FWOSHM Records". Rumours has it that Heavy Sound or possibly TPL were behind them, but I'm not sure..

I don't know. It was at the KIT, when you enter, you had to go right, and it was the second on the right (facing Rainer Krukenberg's stand).

That bootleg series is very gay.
I have the Gotham City on yellow vinyl. It sounds like it has been "remastered" by adding tons of bass levels. Now who is the disco faggot who will have to suck poser cok in hell for eternity for desecrating metal history?

Was there any official GOTHAM CITY CD ever released?

There was one released in 2005 by Metal Crusade Records, but I don't know of it's official or not. I contains their 7",
The Unknown and
Black Writs. The layout is simple but OK, except for the missing lyrics (and I can't understand them fully
).
