matrix - KJRY [logo] CDR UG 80E I441603

That's a CD-R man! The "matrix" gives it away, its reference is for a recordable CD with 80 minutes capacity.

Post subject:  Re: CD Identification, Matrix & Bootleg Help Thread

yeah it is aye, it looks quite different to other cdrs i have here though, maybe it's a promo?
the printed side looks good and the matrix looks like a properly mastered one but then it still has the printed text in the centre
why would anyone bother ripping this one off?

i'd be keen to find out some more about KJRY

re napalm death peel session cd
this is the version i have: http://www.discogs.com/Napalm-Death-The-Peel-Sessions/release/1259115
the green disc is a bit of a worry, it's highly likely that some arsehole has bootlegged it, maybe hit up their website/forum?
or it could be some ultra rare mispress...

I doubt the Peel Sessions CD is a bootleg. The matrix is a perfect match to the version in my collection made with clear polycarbonate. In addition I bought this collection to a guy that bought msot of those CD's before 2000. I dont think bootlegging was much of an issue back then. I have not tried playing it yet, not sure if the green plastic will make any difference in the laser reflection pick up.

i too have not seen a disc like that, i have a few of the black [actually red] discs though
it'd be interesting to see what it sounds like

Hey carnival_corpse could you wrap some spoiler tags around the post with the pictures please? It's breaking up the page's formatting (at least in a 19" screen). These are the tags:

(spoiler) (/spoiler) - except they're with square brackets

To be honest that's not the first time I've seen a CD like that. In fact my copy of After Forever's Decipher, which comes in a slipcase in all similar to the 2006 Deluxe Edition of Dissection's The Somberlain, is in fact a goldish green. In all identical to the images posted, with the clear markings of laser imprinting and a slight "bleed" to the printed side. I purchased my copy at the time the album came out in an airtight and completely trusted CD store from which I bought many many things over the years. In fact Discogs has photos of that edition.

Now why is my copy of Decipher of that colour??? Fuck me if I know... I'm pretty sure that I've also seen an edition of Decapitated's Nihility album in the same moulds though. Goldish green CD surface and everything else standard. If memory serves it was the German edition but it was too long ago to remember properly. My guess is that your CD is the real deal and one of these odd "coloured" editions.

Not necessarily, I have a Six Feet Under CD, Graveyard Classics I think, where the playable side is blueish, and it's a original release, at least I don't think anyone would want to bootleg that. http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=649694

Post subject:  Re: CD Identification, Matrix & Bootleg Help Thread

I'm hoping someone more familiar with the following couple of items can help me out. I bought Angel Dust Into the Dark Past and to Dust You Will Decay, used from Amazon. The Amazon seller didn't list anything special about them such as being rare or OOP(At the time I didn't know the rarity of these two CDs), the description more or less just covered the condition of the actual items.

I recieved the the items today, and I checked the condition first, which as described, where in very good shape. Now that I know how rare they are I have been researching them. I'm still unsure of a couple of things, which is why I'm posting this here.

I'll start with To Dust You Will Decay and between the picture comparisons, discogs listing, and musik-sammler I have no reason to suspect that this one isn't real but here are some details of it just in case:
The sides of the inlay say Angel Dust / To Dust You Will Decay with Disaster CD 10008 at the other end
The Cd has 11 tracks with the songs Flight to Russia and Dawn of the End being labeled as bonus
The Book has the lyrics of all the songs other then the two bonus and a band photo on the last page. The back page of the booklet is the same as the inlay.
The only numbers on the inner ring of the cd which I'm geussing is the matrix for this is 10008 P+O-1509-A 06-88

The Into the Dark Past I used the Metal Treasure comparisons of the back page and mine so far checks out with the original shown on that site. The sides say Angel Dust on one side with Scratch 880 534 CD on the other.
The Cd has 8 tracks and the book contains the lyrics for all and live photos on the back page showing each member.
The only number on the inner ring of the CD is Scratch 880 534-905 P+O-0567-A 7-86

If any of this stands out as a red flag, please let me know. I may put some pictures up later when I get some time in order to provide better detail.

Thanks to anyone who can provide some help with this.

Daemonlord, I summon thee! :D

Now more seriously, I can't be of much help besides telling you that as far as I know only the original editions exist and all other "later pressings" are bootlegs. There are some famous bootlegs, I think Brazilian, which where made around the turn of the century and are practically identical.

My only advice is to follow the golden rule: "If it looks like a deal that's too good to be true then it probably is!"

Post subject:  Re: CD Identification, Matrix & Bootleg Help Thread

i'd like to see more images, this thread could be a great big catalogue of bootlegs and fakes complete with images :nods:
differences in fonts can be the only way to tell some fakes from the real deal so if you put up an image someone who has a copy can easily check for you

Avanzada Metalica Bootlegs, are any known out there? Im interested in seeing pictures of the matrix number of Excruciating Pain from Avanzada Metalica. I have a sealed copy Im pretty sure is a bootleg, but I want to confirm comparing to a known original.

Will appreciate if someone can post pictures.

Does anyone have any knowledge of Manilla Road bootleg LPs or CDs? I know that there are a few listed on their site such as the Dreams of Eschaton demo CD and some of the stuff that was licensed without the permission of the band but with the permission of Black Dragon Records to magazines and such.

Anyone familiar with any others?

Hey,
Looking for an album that is yellow on black background drawling of a hooded bad ass ( grim reaper mabey?)dude throwing a ninja star or something sharp at you. Apparently it's a speed/thrash album from the 80's. My friend can't remember the name of this album and has been trying to find it, do you know what it is?

Original "To Dust You Will Decay" CD scans: 1 | 2
I hope it will help you to identify your CD. If the price wasn't like 200-300$ as it should be for original, I guess it's bootleg.

For those collectors out there. I have a copy of Viogression's Passage in Tombstone Records/Progressive International from 1992, however my matrix number has an IFPI code: THE PASSAGE X6829T IFPI L531

I saw the Osmose version of Below the Lights at FYE about two years ago, and this version had a backslip with pictures of the band members on the back, but I didnt buy it that day. Instead, I picked it up at Reckless Records in Chicago IL a month or two later, but I noticed it had a different backslip, with the same artwork from the disc, and it also had a sticker that said it was for promotional use only and not for resale. Does anyone know if there is anything special about the promo version of this album? Was it released in limited quantities, handed out at concerts, released in a specific region, ect?

the matric is te036

TE = The End Records, you possibly have the US promo version, the other promo on discogs is possibly the EU version
