Thanks for all the information. It's appears to be a rarity as it is, the colors, typos, matrix, too many inconsistancies for it to be legit. Now to get my refund, hopefully I can get the refund with out giving the CD back that would be ideal. When I first bought it I was a tad cynical but I thought who the fuck would press up Gorgut's Obscura bootlegs, I just didn't think there was a big enough audience for that. Guess I was dead wrong. Still surprises me though I thought bootlegging was a thing of the past, at least for CDs. Guess I don't listen to enough kvlt music.

Bootlegging scumbags rip off less sought after albums than that too for some odd reason... :crash:

Don't worry i'm going to find whoever did this, kidnap them and play Obscura full blast over and over until they absolutely regret ever having a hand in pressing up more copies of it.

That can't possibly be the original Under Jolly Roger release, it has a SID code (IFPI L032 seen there) and those only started being used in 1994. It can be a reissue or, more likely (mainly because of that weird font), a bootleg.

That is a weird looking font, there are quite a few RW bootlegs around aren't there? I'm not at all familiar with this band.

That font is definitely wrong Marmer, it's too straight and clean. Plus the SID code's there. :(

I've never seen the actual Combat press of that NA edition, though I have to say it's amusing to find three identical copies for sale on Ebay. From China, Japan and Korea! I don't know, I don't know...

The Helloween CD seems legit, but I've never seen those old matrices in such detail (as to count how many dots on the dashes and whatnot). Someone else might confirm this.

androdion, you mean identical copy with same matrix code? I have never seen bootleggers from Japan. Much of them from China and some of them from Korea.
2 Combat releases submitted on discogs have different matrix.
Person who sold me that CD told me, that he got in 90s, when worked on some label. Maybe lied, maybe not..
Price wasn't very high, so I'm also confused.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NUCLEAR-ASSAULT ... 1219115467

I can't make out all the matrices on the provided pictures, but as I was saying those are three identical copies which just happen to be for sale right now. But if you got it from a trusted seller then you should be alright.

Nuclear Assault looks totally different to mine
http://www.discogs.com/Nuclear-Assault-Game-Over-The-Plague/release/1841886
The font to me looks a bit odd on both of those CDs, usually it's not lots of little dots with spaces :scratch:
Your Nuclear Assault has a 1 stamped in the centre, correct?

Also just because something doesn't have ifpi codes doesn't make it a bootleg, they weren't introduced until about 1994 so anything older than that just won't have them.
Represses and reissues likely will though.

"DIDX" or "Mastered by Nimbus" matrixes, both versions represented on discogs.

Looks like I could have legit version, but where it was manufactured, this is mystery.

Yeah, correct, "1" stamped in the centre.

I didn't mean, that absent of ifpi should qualify it as bootleg, it was just additional information.

As an addendum, there are a lot of bootlegs going around that don't have SID codes impressed. So unless you go for the actual font/size of the matrix you won't get a definitive answer.

I'm having a lot of work trying to identify some Death albums supposedly released by Combat Records/Relativity Records. Does anyone know this version of Death's "Leprosy"? Same barcode, "Mastered By Nimbus" on the Matrix, but there are those IFPI codes... This version is not listed at discogs. But I found a similiar description on a "Human" cd (http://www.discogs.com/Death-Human/release/4427951). Are they legit releases?

All those Death albums have been repressed and have different versions too [multiple variations] they have mostly been reissued too.
Please do add it to Discogs if it's not there already :nods:

Should I take a guess they are on Century Media and if you look at them under a light they are red?
It's pretty common and they seem to exist over at Discogs too, I have a few by different artists but not these.

They shouldn't be remastered given their release dates. CM reissued a lot of stuff in 2008 and then again in 2011, but it was mainly repressing mid to late 90s reissues under a different package. With that being said I know that the Moonspell albums got remastered so take that statement with a pinch of salt.

I'm sure most of them are remastered, they have bonus songs and videos too, I got all the Asphyx ones for a mate a while ago.
They came with 'death certificates' :nods:

Thanks for the answer. I'll trust you, the cd doesn't look suspicious at all, I was just worried with the IFPI codes...

Hello guys!
Just help me to know if the new remastered of "Engineering the dead" from Aborted on Listenable records, contains the original cover inside. I'll do a search on the net and discogs but doesn't help me.

This is the release:

http://shop.listenable.net/product.php?id_product=89

Thanks for the help!

Hi guys,

I just bought a copy of Cryptopsy's None So Vile. The information matches all the Discogs information for the Displeased Records pressing, and it's a CD rather than a CD-r, but the quality of the press seems really poor (i.e. track titles written as 'Crown of horns', 'Graves of the fathers' on the rear and back of the booklet rather than 'Crown of Horns', 'Graves of the Fathers', and the artwork on the CD and rear is really grainy), so naturally I'm a little worried about it being a bootleg. Is this standard for Displeased pressings, or does anyone have the Displeased pressing and can confirm this is the same for them?

I'd take pictures but I don't have a camera good enough to demonstrate the flaws better than text.

The images from the Displeased reissue on discogs match what you describe (about the track titles at least):

Mine's the same. At least it features the original cover art, unlike the CM reissue of the debut... That cover art is hideous! :annoyed:

My copy of Blasphemy Made Flesh is like that [low quality artwork, dodgy re-branding and thin disc] how Displeased and Metal Mind get permission to reissue stuff is beyond me when they consistently release low quality goods :o

You see the original branding, barcode and logos etc have been blacked out/coloured in and the Displeased stuff just printed over the top.
The disc image is different too and the original catalogue number WAR009 is clearly visible on the last page of the booklet :nono:

Has anybody ever seen a bootleg of "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Poltergeist? I'd like to know how to recognize it before buying one... enough of bootlegs, during next days I'll post some pics here.

EDIT: Displeased reissues look really cheap, I agree!
