The original must be this (because i bought it when it was released):
Thanks for the help. The strange thing is that the booklet and cd layout is dead ringer for original issue. No different colour, nothing. It looks identical, it even has ifpi code. The difference is goodlife -records instead of normal HV. Good life records does exist and they do promotios. Did they do reprint? Strange.

I doubt the bootleg theory in this case. It might as well be a reprint, since High Vaultage CD's are still around - in different layouts. I asked Andi Preisig about it and expect an answer earlier or later. He should know about it.akira wrote:chatzial wrote:Propably it is a bootleg.akira wrote:Is this pressing of Tokyo Blades - Nigt Of The Blade...The Night Before bootleg?.

Goodlife Records also do CD Pressings, so it might be that High Vaultage just used them for reprints.
Not sure yet but I keep an eye on it.

There is a bootleg of Manowar - Battle Hymns "Classic ROCK series" reissue from 1999 on EMI.perishinflames wrote:I would agree, probably a repress with different layout. They also repressed the Acid CDs, (though I don't know if there are any differences), so this is plausible. I don't think bootlegging reissues that are still fairly common is very good business.

You both are right. It's a legit re-press in the end. I got confirmation for it. Thanks !!perishinflames wrote:I would agree, probably a repress with different layout.

If you don't mind, from where did you get the confirmation? I am asking that because i thought that the High Vaultage label had stopped their activities.akira wrote:You both are right.

From Denis Gulbey. He rechecked it with Andi Preisig. Battle Cry uses goodlife records too. Apparently Klem still have cd's in stock and sells themchatzial wrote:If you don't mind, from where did you get the confirmation?

There is a bootleg replica of it, you can tell the difference by the way darker covers, if your cover is "regular lighted" and it's easy to see the pattern of the background, it's original. The fact that someone bootlegged it amazes me since the CD is worth like 3 USD in Mint condition.sovdat wrote:Really? Do you mean that the classic Rock serie pressing was the bootleg in the first place or that there's a bootleg out of it? As I have copy right here and it looks all fine to me ...Warepire wrote: There is a bootleg of Manowar - Battle Hymns "Classic ROCK series" reissue from 1999 on EMI.

I just bought this CD, and my matrix matches up to Heathen's, but I'm still not 100% sure if mine is an original or not. Is there any way that someone with an original can post a picture of their disc (with the matrix number) I would love to be able to see the font and see if it matches up to mine. Any help would be most appreciated, Thank You!Heathen wrote:Yes, it is a 100% bootleg. My copy has sonopress matrix. Looks like NRR changed their pressing plant at around 1990, as 1989 CDs are on CDT-Berlin (both Grinders)Osmi_Putnik wrote:Pyracanda - Two Sides Of A Coin, this is a bootleg, right? Matrix must be Sonopress...?
