I saw this auction on Jewbay and was going to warn all the bidders about the fact that it is nothing but a shitty bootleg but I just forgot about it and thought that all the bidders must already know about its authenticity (and basically just want "Posercorpse" stamped somewhere in their copy). The golden version was actually released by a counterfeit label, pretending to be genuine Posercorpse Music. I hope you didn't pay too much since even the latest reissue carries more value to me than this shitty bootleg.

I've been wanting that first press for a while now, EU/US doesn't matter really, but I haven't gained the courage to shell out enough doe to buy it. I envy you right now.

But then again today I'm a happy man because I finally managed to get myself a copy of Aghora's debut, sealed and for a very interesting price! Fucking finally I must say!

And also completed my Hearse collection with Dominion Reptilian and The Last Ordeal, not a bad day at all despite all the cold and rain.

Ha Ha took me a bit to spot the goat them BAM! it was like spotting wheres wally

Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos on Relativity records

Been searchin for a while also. had the Earache release on LP and Cd alread. now this finally arrived..

$50 nzd / 40 usd / 30 euros / 6,500 portuguese escudos

also i can walk into my local awesome music shop and pick up alchemist cds for $8 that sell on ebay for closer to $50 ha ha ha

are the first Bolt Thrower CDs really that rare? I bought mine for 6 or 7 Euros each last year and saw them not too long ago on a flea market for the same price. I was thinking about buying them as trade objects but didn't know they are so sought after.

definitely grab them, but don't be an arsehole and overprice them like the ebayers do

Just received in the mail:

Vinterland - Welcome My Last Chapter (1st pressing, mint condition)

re realm of chaos, no they aren't rare but people tend to overcharge for them

that oz auction but in english: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300809344219

by the way it's a REPRESS or a REISSUE

by the way it's a REPRESS or a REISSUE not "OOP" or rare

Good score! A real masterpiece!

I would even tend to say it is a bootleg. Those "Mastered by Nimbus" Matrix Codes were used in the beginning of the 90s, very early releases from Earache, Metal Blade or Peaceville carry these matrix codes. But I can't remember of any release in 1994 or newer (when IFPI Numbers were introduced) having regularly the IFPI Number is association with the "Nimbus" Master.
Looks very suspicious to me.

I think I agree with you, it does seem odd. Isn't the font different as well? That does seem a bit sketchy!

And the prices are over the top because of the "first press fever" as usual. I normally would just get the reissue and get over with it, but given my love for BT and all the shit that happened between them and Earache I really wanted that first press. However I won't be buying it overpriced, it would have to be a much bigger fish for me to shell out 25-30€.

Where'd you get those patches? Nice Panopticon shirt too, I wanted one of those, but was running a little low on cash when he put them up for sale so I missed out (plus I already have so many band shirts that i should probably slow down on my purchases of those for a while)

oh and Asti78 if you see any eisenvater or blood around i could be keen!
the first 3 eisenvater albums are awesome i reckon, and blood, well blood just slay

You mean the German Death Metal Band Blood? Well their stuff usually is really cheap to get, maybe except the first 2 albums. I finished their discography last year with paying around 5 Euros for the firstpresses, also the "Depraved Godddess" with the rusty nail .
Their albums appear pretty rarely as auction starting with 1 Euro, but usually don't go very high. Remember that "Impulse to destroy" was released in a cardboard sleeve as firstpress.
