The Pantera album most likely is, although it was the only 80s era Pantera album that had a CD pressing. (Real CD pressings are extremely rare, though; most copies that exist were on cassette and/or vinyl.)

The Black Sabbath album could be an official one, although I'm not there, so I can't see it.

The Nuclear Assault might be a bit more likely to be a legit pressing as opposed to a bootleg. I've seen it at used CD stores before. In fact, I saw that album at the used CD store recently, but I ended up buying Obituary - The End Complete instead.

I did see one CD at the used CD store that is a definite bootleg; a bootleg copy of Viking - Do or Die. The store clerk is a friend of mine, and I pointed it out to him. He said he noticed it, too. They did also have a used copy of Man of Straw (that had just been sold), but he said that was a legit pressing, not a bootleg.

These are all definitely boots. I could tell as soon as I took'em out of the package.

All three CDs are brand spankin' new and spotless, and the booklets are all fresh/clean with no signs of wear, they even smell new.

...but they were dirt cheap and I had given up on ever finding "real" copies of 'em out in the wild, so I'm fine with these.

Besides, as I'm so fond of saying... the way things are going, soon the Russian bootleggers will be the only ones pressing "real" CDs anyway

Is that the one that had "Wasted Rock Ranger" on the flip side? Man, I loved that song. Haven't heard it in dog years.

I do believe it was. Didn't it also have a cover of Jimi Hendrix 'Red House' on it too? Or maybe that was a different cass-single I'm thinking of. I had quite a few of those things. 'Wasted Rock Ranger' eventually showed up on this GW Greatest Hits from 2001...

I bought it pretty much for that song alone.

That figures. I already own two different GW "Best Of" comps, but "Wasted..." is not on either one

I got it for $5 from NEH Records (sold out now). The short samples posted there sounded good, but the track I linked is what sold me on it. Sounds a lot like Babylon A.D., I think. Haven't given it a full spin yet, though. Just got it earlier today.

Paul McCartney solo career has a serious of ups and downs in terms of quality, its hard to deny that one of the world's greatest songwriters, sometimes puts out crap

I made my first CD purchase of the year today...

This album arrived in the mail later than expected, but I finally got it a few days ago.

I spun it yesterday for the first time, very good stuff.
