Hello,

does anyone know exactly how many Combat (including the Combat Core sublabel) CD's were pressed in Japan. For the while I have the following whose disc says "Made in Japan" (pictures can be found on my website):
  • AGENT STEEL - Unstoppable Force
    AGNOSTIC FRONT - Cause For Alarm/Victim In Pain (Combat Core)
    CELTIC FROST - To Mega Therion
    CIRCLE JERKS - Wonderful (Combat Core)
    DARK ANGEL - Darkness Descends
    EXODUS - Bonded By Blood
    HELLOWEEN - Walls Of Jericho
    MEGADETH - Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good!
    MERCYFUL FATE - Don't Break The Oath (I have an extra copy for sale/trade)
    POSSESSED - Seven Churches
    SLAYER - Hell Awaits
    VOIVOD - Rrroooaaarrr
    VOIVOD - Killing Technology
Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
ROM

Do you think it's all?

Nobody else than me interested in colecting those "Japanese" Combat pressings?

I am but only of those that are first pressings. I already own the majorty of those. The rest I could care less about as I don't intend on collecting 10 copies of every album for the sake of collecting a labels entire discography. Like I said, I can't think of any others and the majority of this site prefers vinyl over CD's.

Exodus pleasures of the flesh cd 1st press is made in japan, it doesnt say made in japan on the disc but I know it was made in the same plant as the voivod killing technology disc which says "made in japan by memory-tech corporation" on the disc.

That wou'd be correct and is verified by the Matrix that reads "MT 1B1" which would imply the Memory-Tech pressing plant.

That one slipped my mind.

Now that I think about it I'm 99% my copy of DBC - Universe / Dead Brain Cells was made in Japan. It didn't say so on the disc but it had those strange matrix symbols and distinctive font of the old Japanese Victor CDs.

Currently I'm in possession of two Bonded by Blood CDs, made in Japan.

Both are almost indentical, but not in the matrix code.
1st: 88561-8019-2 + (the + sign comes with dots on each corner)
2nd: 88561-8019-2 MT 1A1 ++

Anyone knows more about it?? Rom?

Nice :) I have the UOF obviously (that was the version distributed here in Europe ...)

What about The Accused debut ? Is it USA or Jap press ?
