They still did not manage to make the matrix font look like the original. Sinse this is the case, we can relax. But I dread the day when the matrices start to look identical...

How can you know that something like it didn't already happen? ;)

Just an observation from your photo... the matrix reads HRMXD-129 and the writing on the CD is HMR XD 129 - which should be the correct matrix. I think the difference to spot a bootleg version of this CD was already discussed in a topic on this forum.

Luckily they are so dumb that they attempted to bootleg again a cd which has something hard to replicate :roll:

But seriously, why this one, again ? It was going to be officially reissued too... I would forward this to the band so appropriate actions can be taken ! :evil:

You right! I saw it yesterday later, but the main difference is engraved inscription in outer plastic side. Anyway seller is good guy and he accepted for full refund.

About Razor cd "Shotgun Justice", how come nobody has pointed out that matrix is mirrored (and visibile only on playing side) and that there are engraved letters in the inner ring too (like the Cloven Hoof) ?

Maybe there are two original pressings, one with engraved letters and one without ?
If not, it would be very easy to spot the two bootlegs with the detail of engraved letters only :p

Yeah, never seen that guy sell a bootleg before either, some people are just too trusting and assume since they say its legit that there is no chance of it being a bootleg.

Must be a record :roll:

Can you explain why is that Nuclear Assault a Bootleg?
Matrix is almost identical with original...

CD FLAG 21 MPO 03 @
and in the picture:
CD FLAG 21 MPO 02 @

Is this the difference between boot and original? Or there's more...

I'm new here and just learning :wink:

It's not the writting itself but the font/style/positioning of the matrix text.

My original says: CD FLAG 21 MPO 02 @ and also engraved in the inner ring it says:
COMPACT DISC MPO FRANCE 60

I don't think they would be able to bootleg those engraved inner rings into a bootleg, but who knows.

This isn't 100% certian.

For example I've had 3 copies of Nuclear Assault - Fight To Be Free / Brain Death split CD on Under One Flag and one had this and the others didn't. Everything else was identical.
