In the meantime I contacted Metal Blade and they kindly replied that that matrix data matches for the release and DiscUSA was/is their manufacturer. 100% LEGIT. Don't worry! I compared it with my copy of Helstar's A distant Thunder and everything matches: logo, matrix font and ifpi. The only difference is that I have a date (2/11/05) on the left of the matrix (mine is 14207-2/03) |

I had this reply from Metal Blade, other than that a talk (several messages exchanged) about a Immortal Pure Holocaust weird issue with Osmose, a reply from Black Mark about a Edge of Sanity bitrotted-to-transparency CD and a reply from Peaceville about the Autopsy Mental Funeral reissue, that I remember. Got silence from Nuclear Blast about a Hypocrisy Pleasures of Molestation digi bitrotted-to-transparency and silence from Roadrunner when I inquired about the criminal King Diamond Abigail reissue. I always ask because labels should be asked. |

I'm not being a troll or anything but I have to ask........... why are people so obsessed with matrix numbers and bar codes and shit? What happened to just listening to albums and enjoying them? I'm all for people still buying physical CDs and shit but wow. Every time I try to sell something on ebay, I get 20 messages asking for close-up pics of the matrix numbers and all these ridiculous questions. In the case of bootlegs, I understand no one wants fake albums. Of course. But when it's a difference between a first or second pressing, who gives a shit? Just my take. Not in any way an insult to anyone in this thread. |

Well, we started this thread because the boards were always flooded with matrix/bootleg requests anyway, so now it's all centralized here. Answering your question is easy, just look at how inflated and expensive many CDs get to be in online selling platforms. Of course one wants to be reassured the money is being well spent, would you spend $50+ on a rarity without checking its veracity? Also many people buy bootlegs because they have no idea of some things like matrix and IPFI codes, so this might prove helpful for those as well. |

enter the matrix  i don't consider your comment to be troll-like, it's a fairly reasonable 'observation' it makes me feel more awesome knowing i'm in possession of an original some people care and some people don't, hell i've spoken to people who bought cheap home burned cdrs and had no idea until i told them if you don't like answering those questions, pre-empt them and just put up the info like i do the fact you even know what this information is gives the buyer more confidence, they think they're buying from a pro |

Does anyone know if Noise Records ever released Deathrow's Raging Steel in CD. I have checked some sources like Discogs but no refence to a Noise CD version. I recently bought a collection of CD's from a local guy and found this one in CD, it looks like an obvious bootleg, with matrix number RAGINGSTEEL. Does anyone has this bootleg? When was it issued? |

In memory of Celtic Frost - Dwell Records compilation do you guys have this? do we know how many different versions exist?

There is exactly one CD edition of Deathrow's first two albums, the 2008 ones on Displeased Records. Both those albums were vinyl only releases back then and they were issued for the first time on CD five years ago. There's a funny mistake on the sophomore because it has the song "Scattered by the Wind" divided into two separate album tracks when it's actually just one song. That's also why the track list on the back insert doesn't match the actual CD. |

In a 1988 interview in Metal Core Zine Max Cavalera says that the European pressing of Schizophrenia through U.S. Metal /Shark Records is a bootleg. Can this be confirmed as true or did the Brazilian label offer rights to these labels to release it and Max is just uninformed. |

japc wrote: Anyone has the Omen - Battle Cry reissue from Metal Blade with the black backcover with the large Omen Battle Cry? Just got a copy from an amazon 3rd party (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000 ... 02_s00_i00) very cheap, and some things strike me as odd: it was sealed but one of the spines is torn, it has no inner print on the backcover but comes in a transparent jewelcase, the backcover layout is very much like the limited edition (black with the large band + title) but without the limited edition on the bottom right, the cover is very blurry and the paper feels weird. Matrix is 14215-2 03 with a DiscUSA logo SID codes: IFPI L794 IFPI 2D40. Anyone with a similar edition? I guess I should discard this as a counterfeit and bug the seller, if not for anything else because of packaging + torn spine. Ok, they offered me a new copy because of the tear in the spine, it arrived today. This one has a much sharper print, came with a Metal Blade sticker on the wrap and a white plastic "Band - Title, label, barcode" sticker on the top of the jewel case (they use those for easy id-ing). The CD is also different. The backcover is exactly the same, the cover and booklet is also the same (except for the print quality). Photos... (top is the new one)

No, it's different. The new one has a xx/yy/2012 date on the matrix so it must be a recent reissue. |

It's a tradeoff, if it's not incredibly rare/expensive then it's easier to get a copy to dup and, also, people tend to be less inquisitive on the fact that copies keep showing for sale and less inquisitive when buying and getting the CD. |
