It's very hard to find an original "Death Squad" on Aurophon. The bootlegs are very close to the original.

I believe I have a bootleg replice copy sitting at home. Even the Matrix is almost identical. If I recall correctly you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference from that photo.Heathen wrote:I added these photos:Avenger wrote:Post a scan.Heathen wrote:

I'd be very surprised if it was a boot. I may not have the bootleg to compare, but I know how an original matrix from these days looks like (including the tiny details) and I can compare it to any original ACTIVE records CD made in France by MPO in 1990 (Like "the edge of eternity") which was done using the very same pressing machine. The text is identical. This would be the best bootleg in the world by far
this might not help you but
I also bought my copy a year ago from german amazon listed as new for 15€ or so, which looks exactly like yours, also had a slightly wavy backinsert.
same matrix, thick paper. I can not imagine that it is a fake, but I can not promise.
If it is one, it's really one of the best.

Here's the Darkness "Death Squad" four scans I made back in 2001:

I remember there is also a Defenders of Justice with LORDDISC. Was the whole aurohon series bootleged?

I am more than sure it's all because of Avenger's guesses.
First he asked me about scans of this Darkness and first S.D.I. CD on Aurophon
When i sent them to him he said that his Darkness looks the same as mine and this is bootleg. I tried to explain it's not a bootleg, just another version printed in Germany while version with "LORDISC" matrix it's also pure legit version, but printed in France.
He didn't believe me and asked here. So, seems like everyone has this german version with matrix with offset or LORDISC matrix without offset. Both are legit first pressings from 1990. Everything is clear for me, because a guy who bought this CDs (Darkness & S.D.I.) promised that he bought them sealed in 1991 in Moscow.
Shaun, please relax and stop scaring owners of Darkness CDs. All pressings are real, no fakes. This offset of digits in matrix is OK. I saw a few (not many of course) old CDs with offsets made in early '90, all were authentical.
