sonic age records

has anyone bought anything from this site? They have all the old Pantera cds and I was going to pick them up but I wanted to see if anyone has bought anything from them first. their website is http://www.SonicAgeRecords.com lemme know.

Ok thats what I was thinking. The guy wrote me back and his name was Kostas haha. thanks!

I have ordered from them and I think they are great. Not sure about those particular items though.

If by "the old Pantera CDs" you mean the four pre-COWBOYS FROM HELL "hair era" albums then those are definitely bootlegs. The only one of those albums that was ever legitimately available on CD was the last one (POWER METAL, 1988) which was released on the Pantera boys' own label (Metal Magic), it obviously has been out of print forever.

All four of those albums have been widely bootlegged onto CD since the band got big, of course.

Really? Damn. After a decade-plus of fruitless searching for a CD copy of Trouble's S/T, I'd almost settle for a bootleg at this point, if it were decent quality anyway...

*EDIT* Shoot. I looked the S/T up on that site and it (as well as MANIC) is "temporarily out of stock." That figures.

Yea I kind of had a feeling the first 3 albums were'nt on cd. Ive seen them bootlegged a couple times in a store but they looked really crappy so I never bothered to get them. These sound like they would be better quality. They are $20 plus if you sign up to something you get 20% off your order. I signed up to it just for the hell of it, but maybe I wont even bother now. I remember reading back a while ago about them working on a Pantera Box Set anyway. Whether they would have these albums in the box set I dont know.

I remember hearing some talk about Vinnie Paul planning to re-release the four early Panteras in a box set on his own "Big Vin" label quite awhile back but it might have just been internet BS.

Kostas (the owner of Sonic Age) told me they are currently having a deal on shipping. Shipping for all orders (no matter how large) is 6 Euros worldwide. Check it out!

They sell a lot of bootlegs, but Sonic Age is a great store nonetheless. They're a sister company to Cult Metal Classics, which is one of the best labels out there imo.
