Bootlegs

Let me go check mine out and compare it to what I see of the matrix number. I KNOW mine is an original.

Ok, from what I can see from that picture, compared to mine it looks legit.

I've bought from that guy before. He might have a boot here and there, but most of the stuff he sells are legit discs.

I enlarged the matrix and it is exactly the same as mine. Looks good.

Could someone tell me if these are legit? the seller says he has no camera so he cant take a pic so this is all i have.

Can't help you with the Ratman disc (don't have that one yet) but The Daily Horror News disc LOOKS legit, but would need to know the matrix numbers to compare it to mine.

I asked "Vegascds" about the matrix of the Agony CD he was selling. Here's his reply:
[size=9]"no matrix , just name of band - probably best not to
buy"

haha

He is known for selling boots, and LOTS of them.

Yeah, I know, but I didn't expect that he'll suggest me not to buy from his auctions

He's probably covering his ass, as he knows a collector will leave negative feedback on him if they get a boot.

But it is the collectors who wants these discs, right?

I've bought Heathens Rage, Lääz Rockit and Messiah Force discs that are boots.

Turns out my Heavy Load discs are bootlegs too.

I don't mind bootlegs if the album wasn't release on CD. I've got Deathrow - Raging Steel and Blood Money - Battlescarred, both boots, but never released on CD before (at least I don't THINK the Deathrow was).

$120+ for a bootleg Well, it's the only way to own AaD on a CD.

What label is yours, Sideshow? Mine is UK import - Ebony 1987 - re-issue 2002. Got it from my Japanese buddy and he ALWAYS tells me if it is a boot beforehand. Sure looks legit.

It's the one I picked up at Mayhem last year. It says it's on Ebony, but there's no matrix on the ring. Looks very professional, and looks legit, but the lack of the matrix screams bootleg to me.

is this legit? plz help me, thanks

It looks so - but I guess that it is the least "valuable" Risk CD, so I don't believe that anyone would do a boot off it.



here's my copy:

Here's a look at an Overkill boot that I recieved awhile ago,





Jap import my arse, half way through the CD around track 8 you start getting interference which gets so bad in the next few songs thgat you can't make out what songs you are listening to, Kinda sounds like MP3 ripping gone bad. bought it for $11.99 so it's not the end of the world but I contacted the seller before I left feedback and he wanted to send another out to me so I accepted, same problem occurred. They even came sealed.

I see on Ebay now another guy is selling them and he sold one a few weeks ago for $113, damn.

Looks dodgy and I mean looking at his feedback, he's sold at least 4 copies of this Vendetta CD over the past 2 months and he's also sold a number of copies of Pantera's "Power Metal" .....

as for the Discs, Is it's just the pictures showing different colours under the light ?

yes, the thailand seller is highly suspicious bootleg seller.


i have seen he was selling Pantera Power Metal CD so many times before.


i have heard Thailand has so big bootleg market.


my friend have been Thailand before, and he bought a lot of bootleg CDs for cheap price.

the disc is different at the edges, I have many early Noise pressings and none of them are like this ..

Now look what the fool is bootlegging:

Seriously, is there nothing he won't make a boot of?
