Hi Peter! ;-D
Yeah, pic was yours, have to admit, ahahahah!
but I know another (white label) copy around.
I've also been told it could be a totally non-UK band, someone thinks it could be from USA or Canada...all suppositions though...
Also, I know 2 of the tracks from the EP circulated many years ago in reduced form (they were a bit shorter in lenght), so would not be surprised if any promo/test copy would be in circulation too...

no hope, no fear

Supposedly $1000 few years ago, and some said that it was a bootleg.
Other then the Metallica from a very questionable source, I've never actually seen pictures of any of these in a way that actually proves authenticity in my years.

Yes, that's where the discrepancy lies.sovdat wrote:Unfortunately metallipromo's top 100 items page is down, but I was still able to find the photos of Kill 'em All slimline:

CD made in Germany?

The graphic on top of the disc is also different. This is the red rectangle design from the second half of the 80's which would mean it's a later pressing then the slimline if, in fact, the slimline exists.warmachine wrote:This is version in regular case (same matrix code - disc pressed in Germany)Heathen wrote:There was also a non-slimline version pictured but these photos are gone.

Well, he's now got some serious competition.GJ wrote:Welcome to the forum newbie! Did you know there's already a fellow called Avenger who's deeply into matrix numbers here? Haha!

Hail
I thought the Manowar - Hail To England slimline CD on Roadrunner was rarer than Kill'em All?
Btw, whats the Edge Of Sanity by Hexenhaus on Active Records worth?

Where can you see the Matrix for the slimline CD? The one only visible is for the standard case version. By the way, the Megaforce pressing is from the same year as the standard case Roadrunner disc.slayerhatesusall wrote:That metallica slimline looks fishy to me, it says on the matrix 86 which indicates it was made in 1986 but the others came out in 1985, also the slimline sticker is completely white, it should look at least slightly discoloured due to age, it looks brand new.

the catalogue number (99##) suggests that this CD was first released in 1984.Avenger wrote:The graphic on top of the disc is also different.

CAT Numbers do not always flow in numerical order. If you have viewed the labels section of the boards you would notice this. A lot of times a release is given a CAT Number before it's actually released and then it's delayed for whatever reason. Meanwhile releases put out by the same label that were scheduled for a later date are still released on time. Also, a lot of labels such as Metal Blade (Enigma/Restless era) and Roadrunner share the same CAT Numbers with both vinyl and CD releases. The vinyl is released promptly and the CD at a later date. This is not a reliable source.Heathen wrote:the catalogue number (99##) suggests that this CD was first released in 1984.Avenger wrote:The graphic on top of the disc is also different.

There are very few Metal albums released on CD format prior to 1985.

I think it says 86, but its upside down so its hard to read.
