Does anyone here have the 2006 digipak reissue of Merciless' Unbound? Can someone please confirm to me if the disc is a pro-printed CD-R or not? I just opened a sealed copy and I'm pretty much baffled at this reissue being a CD-R... I mean what the fuck???

Well, after a couple of PM/emails I've come to the conclusion that someone gave me the old switcheroo on this one. What's pretty baffling is that everything is exactly as it should be (digipak with embossed lettering, full booklet) except for the CD being a duplicated CD-R.

I've already contacted the seller and will update this for others that may run into the same situation.

Hey people, as you may all know, there is a band called Burzum that plays black metal. There is an album called Filosofem that was first issued in 1996. But there are 2 versions of it: A5 digipak and A5 digibook.
Which of them is the first press? Or were they released at the same time?

Compare the two matrices, they have the same disc, or at least the same matrix.
It's likely they were release at the same time

The user there wrongdoze claims to have both versions

Of The Fallen - Of The Fallen

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OF-THE-FALLEN-O ... 27d2ae5247

I need some experts advice, does it look like legit or not?
Never had any Wild Rags editions in collection, so I'm confused.
I mean no Wild Rags logo, nor on backsleeve neither on CD, strange matrix code.

It's too cheap and those images are really crappy, try hitting up a seller on Discogs for some info
Wild Rags definitely have bootlegs 'available'

Already did, but thanks for answer.

Understand, that price is too cheap, but even more expensive ones on ebay looks the same.
http://www.ebay.de/itm/OF-THE-FALLEN-S- ... 5aec341f95
http://www.ebay.de/itm/OF-THE-FALLEN-VI ... 2a30b9f343

Even same seller sells it on discogs for 40usd, compared to 15 on ebay.
Investigation continues...

I've updated the Discogs pages for the Merciless reissues, second and third albums, as to have relevant information regarding the (almost surely unofficial) CD-R press and the common identifiers. Haven't placed the ones for Unbound because I want to have a proper copy in front of my eyes when I do it. :p

@ dreadmeat - Also did a small update to the COK repress, as to best exhibit the SID nomenclature. ;)

PS: Damn, did Black Lodge fuck up the reissue of The Treasures Within... And thanks a lot to the people providing me the necessary info, you guys rock! ;)

That's not an original [or as people call them a 'first press'] it has ifpi codes so was made after 1994, does it have a mould sid code too?
Is SST a legit label? it's possibly just a reissue or repress, take a look at Discogs, the one there looks like it needs some work and vital info is missing...
Those are some decent images, you just need someone to compare them to their own copy to see if the info [and fonts] match

Click for a bit more info, it's not an original [you saw my comment above]
I'll ask for someone to update the Discogs page

A curious question for the residents in this thread. :p

Is it unusual for a CD to miss one the SID codes? Like, having a mastering code but not a mould code, or the other way around? I seem to find a CD without one of them every once in a while, but why does that happen? Anyone knows?

Does Opeth's first press versions of "Morningrise" and "My Arms, Your Hearse" have mirrored matrix?

You have to be patient or maybe contact everyone you can find who has a copy and ask them to check it.
You can't really expect to have a definitive answer in a couple of days mate, especially in here, not everyone who has one is looking through the Metal Archives forum and sees the "CD Identification, Matrix & Bootleg Help Thread" title then wades though 18 pages to see your question about a St Vitus CD

Not at all unusual, it's surprising to see some of the bigger labels [like Relapse] often have no ifpi sid codes at all... :crash:

Alas, I have those two in their Repulse incarnations. It's admittedly weird if the first disc is only one track though.

I added my Rotten Sound double CD to Discogs yesterday, if it's the same as the one that exists we can just merge them but yeah I took the time and made a good submission so hopefully my data is kept [including the scans]

I can confirm this too. My Morningrise is "SNA CANDLE 015 CD 07109602 SNA" and My Arms is "AAC1549 00645 CANDLE025CD" mirrored.

tbh you probably have a legit pressing y'know... since Opeth and Candlelight are not Demigod/Drowned Productions rare/bootlegged. Another thing to remember is that albums can be done in different pressing plants so if your Morningrise is something like "AAC.." mirrored then it's legit.

Yep, it starts from "AAC". Strictly speaking "AAC1563 00669 CANDLE015CD". Thanks for your help mate! You calmed me down. :D

Is it possible for two different releases [band/album] - having the same label and pressing plants but with different release dates to have the same MASTERING SID and MOULD SID codes?
As in my case both were released by No Fashion Records and made on the same pressing plant DCM Digital Communication Media but with obvious difference on release dates:

Dissection - The Somberlain [Released in 1993] Matrix: DCM [Logo] Digital Communication Media 23072303 NFR 006
Dark Funeral - Vobiscum Satanas [Released in 1998] Matrix: DCM [Logo] Digital Communication Media 14070921 NFR 27

and yet they both have the same SID Codes:
Mastering Code: IFPI L052
Mould Code: IFPI 17C4

Any comments?

Mould Code: IFPI 17C4

Any comments?

The mastering SID is usually associated with a company (for instance Sony DADC is L555), whereas the mould SID is associated with the specific machine at the pressing plant. So I'd say it's perfectly normal.

Someone please correct me if I'm judging this wrongly though. ;)

That's my understanding too, it's pretty common to have the same SID codes or at least very similar, different by say one digit only.
