How do you tell the difference between a CD and a CD-R? (In that case it's obvious, but others not so much)

Well, the obvious way to tell is the color. If it's blue or tinted blue, it's pretty much a CDR. But you can also usually see the "burn" line, where the inner ring (which will be of various thickness depending on how much media is on the disc) will be slightly darker than the outer ring. You don't see that on a normal CD.

KISS- Destroys Anaheim ( 9/21/76- Bootleg DVD)

My Little Funhouse- Standunder
Medieval - Medieval Kills/Medieval ep

Thanks, I did always wonder with some discs as they look pretty professional like the Unbowed one, but I guess that's a CD-R too (although it was only $5 (Can))

Yngwie Malmsteen- Trial By Fire: Live in Leningrad

I know we have a Book Haul thread, but nobody ever posts in it so I am putting this here:

Smokin' Valves: A Headbangers Guide To 900 NWOBHM Records by Martin Popoff. This covers mostly the years '79 - '83 with many pictures of the album covers. Martin is over-inclusive in my opinion - e.g. Fastway and Motorhead are in this book - but that's hardly a real complaint. Great book if you are interested in collecting NWOBHM.

Please, please, PLEASE post a review of this once you've had a chance to watch it. Been debating whether to pull the trigger on it, but kept holding off in case it was a "watch once, then discard" kind of thing.
