The barcodes/catalogue numbers are the same I take it?
Anything interesting in the runout, etched text, maybe a date or some dead giveaway like the engineer

Here is the back of the Borknagar cd.

Here is the back of the Marduk - Heaven shall burn...when we are gathered (also wondering if it's a fake)

Borknagar could be legit.
Absence of SID codes is strange, but I checked mine, which is first German version, bought long long time ago.
It has only matrix code, no any SID codes. And I found something funny. It has fir image on area, where mastering SID code should be.

But I'm quite suspicious about Marduk. Typically on original CDs performer or album name is never represented as part of matrix code.
I have seen that only in case of bootleg CDs.
Also placement and matrix font itself is quite suspicious. And whole SID code area, too simple.
Bootleggers like simplicity, the more simple it is, then is is easier to manufacture.

I'm almost sure your Marduk CD is boot.

You might be able to match them up with the pictures
When you figure out which is which could you add that runout info to the releases?

I think I read somewhere that people were uncertain about old Voivod releases in the sense of some possibly being bootlegs. Does anyone know what the deal is with this Dimension Hatröss release listed on Amazon? http://www.amazon.com/Dimension-Hatross ... B00000I3VF <-- I mean, it's dispatched directly from them so I guess it's the legit thing, with possibly being a re-issue or something...?

W.O. means work order, it's pretty common.
16572-1 vs 16572-2 is just a variation [or variant] 16572-1 is likely older
Feel free to put up a decent photo of the matrix here though

Well I got it from a guy I've met couple of hours ago, it's not online purchase.
So is it a legit copy?

I guess it was broken and replaced because there is a Satan picture inside that shouldn't be covered by black tray. Can't find that extra hole though.

Also, I was supposed to pay 24$ for both of these, but he lower the price to 20$.
Now, I'm going to give that Immolation back for 8$ and he keeps 12$ as a starting price.
Should I return both CDs for 20$?

My apologies Munja if you are a she, I just assume male because it's a male dominated realm (metal in general). The only reason inverted is a giveaway is because the original isn't, but are some originals inverted anyway (different albums I mean). Also I have some cds that are pretty low printing quality, but are still real things (I think).
