Is this cd (and this seller in general) the genuine first pressing?

Also is this Elektra pressing a non-bootleg one and is it much different from the Roadrunner press?

First one looks like a later pressing, the inner ring design makes me think it probably has ifpi code too. The second one is a later pressing too, since it has ifpi code, my first press looks different. Elektra 1st press matrix number is: 2 60777-2 SRC-01 M1 S3Zdan wrote:Is this cd (and this seller in general) the genuine first pressing?

Both of those look legit since i don't think a bootlegger would bootleg the second pressing, and get the matrix design exactly right, but neither are 1st pressings. Why do they bootleg this one anyway? It only sold for around $10-$22 before the bootleg came out.
Shouldn't be M1 S1 ? I have your same pressing btw (S3)
According to MS people, first 'universal' press of NPFD is the RoadRunner one, is this right ? http://www.musik-sammler.de/album/9434
Also the debut there is "first press" info on the RR version, and not the Restless one...

Both of those CD's are legit and both are re-issues.
The Roadrunner disc is easily told apart from the first pressing by the silver/mirrored center ring and has an IFPI Code.
The Elektra is told apart by the style of the Matrix. This is obviously a newer stamping made in a different plant from the first/earlier pressings. All the early US Elektra discs were manufactured by SRC and had no IFPI Code. The pressing runs of these discs are determined by the number that follows after the "SRC" prefix. The lower the number, the earlier the pressing run. There are also German made Elektra CD's as well but I'm not necessarily sure if, for example, there were any done for "No Place For Disgrace".

Which cd copy of Wrath- nothing to fear is the first pressing? I assume the laservideo one is the first pressing, and the nimbus is a later pressing, based on the other medusa/metal blade discs I have, and since I haven't seen a laservideo made disc after 1988. Or is the nimbus disc a european pressing or something? Also, this guy has a sealed longbox copy of it, and on the back it says copyright date 1991. Maybe thats when the nimbus one came out?

I also ask this same question about other metal blade discs like Voivod- war and pain, sacrifice- forward to termination, those both have laservideo and nimbus pressings. I assume laservideo is the first pressing for all of them, is that assumption correct?

This has come up before and nobody knows. There's no real concrete way to tell either. I guess this is a case where you grab either copy and be content with what you have. There are Nimbus discs from as early as 1986 so I don't think your theory is correct.slayerhatesusall2 wrote:Which cd copy of Wrath- nothing to fear is the first pressing?

Good question. I've noticed the same thing and haven't been able to get any information out of the sellers yet.Zdan wrote:Does anybody know anything about the new Steel Vengeance CD's popping up on ebay and in other places? Anybody seen one? Are those some new official reissues?

I finally got a reply from one of them and he told me the same thing. He was honest but apparently this doesn't change the fact that he still wants $20 a piece for them.Nebuchadnezzar wrote:bootlegs
