So it looks like 30 EUR for a copy without any punch holes was a good deal If only more sellers on eBay didn't select international shipping and PayPal payment when they actually accept both !!!

How much is the Megaforce Kill 'Em All CD pressing (with white back cover) worth?

Well... I hear a significant difference between the ones you mentioned and The Mission, you obviously don't. Maybe let's just leave it that way.

There's also an identical greek bootleg of Anacrusis - "Suffering Hour". And you don't mean the Axis bootleg? i have axis bootleg too, is there any cd i have that its not a bootleg? Yes - The Metal Blade pressing from 1990 with a typical "Mastered By Nimbus" matrix. Quite rare t...

It's not a delicate ballad like Silent Lucidity - that's for sure - but it's still a power ballad. It's deeply emotional, it's about love, it's slow to midpaced, the solo has "ballad" written all over it, and most importantly - has a typical ballad feel to it, especially in the bridge and ...

No Return - Contamination Rises

I love this french brand of death/thrash. Although I would also count Switzerland in

Yeah, it sounds like The Trooper, no doubt about it.

Come on! It's a typical metal ballad, only better than the rest

Queensryche - The Mission

Definitely.

Awesome one!

Red Tears of Disgrace from the latest album is almost as good! Unfortunately the other ballad on the album is plain weak.

All those sealed Ashen Existence copies... Can anyone tell me what they are? Are these first press releases found "in someones basement", or are they current, new re-releases? Maybe they are bootlegs? Anyone has any knowledge on this? Ask Nebuchadnezzar. Apparently he knows every single s...

What, Storm Alert rules!! However, the new, 2006 press with completely remastered sound sounds even better! (probably the only album which turned out to be better after remastering than originally, hehe :) ) spot on. I was having a hard time listening to the original release, but the remaster rocks...

Anyone knows what the "DIDX ####" or "DIDP ####" text printed on some old US CDs (sometimes also on matrix) means? It can be found on CDs from different manufacturers (EMI, Elektra, Epic and others). edit: I found the answer, but I won't delete my post in case someone is also int...

Sometimes it makes me think, is collecting still fun when you have almost unlimited budget to spend on CDs/Records?

Well, it shows up less frequently, thats for sure. And looks nicer

Nice catch if its original (it has a standard Noise CD matrix). Never seen a bottleg of Deception Ignored but things change so fast. Its a ~35-45 EUR CD, when offered worldwide. The blue disc US version is probabily worth even more.
