those are cheap duplicated CD-R knock-offs the asshole Sam MacCaslin (a.k.a vegascds, themetalkingdom on eBay) and owner of Retrospect records duplicates in bulk and sells on eBay disguised as Italian or Spanish Imports. Which is complete bogus of course, he presses the dupes here in USA at places like www.diskfaktory.com

I dont have a complete list as he seems to have a new one almost every week. He must have duped hundreds of titles already...

Just go to eBay, do a serach for the seller themetalkingdom, and basically every CD listed as Spanish or Italian Import is such CD-R dupe.

[Korgüll]

& Ebay won't do anything about it either as he's making them lots & lots of money!

[sovdat]

I've heard some rumours that he has finally gotten a decent CD factory, so his new "releases" won't be in such a disastrous condition anymore ..

Are you shure about these? High Roller is an excellent mailorder - I wonder if their're producing boots.

Atleast they used to.
Not a word mentioned anymore about SPARTA, MARQUIS DE SADE, HELL and someother LP's I can't remember anymore at their website. I have to say I have few of them, didn't know they were bootlegs back then when I bought then. Have some of their legit releases too.
I think those bootlegged vinyls were made together with "Hades Paradise"?

From what I've heard, and remember this is second hand info, they have released a couple of releases which were boots. They later tried to make that up to the bands, and I understood the bands were OK with it. Their later releases are supposed to be official, but again, this really is hearsay. I cannot argue the truth of this.

Yeah Hades Paradise is Joe Pangello (sp?)... He just used High Roller as a distributor for his worthless bootlegs.

You have quite the info on the guy.

Did you have a bad experience with him some how?

[sovdat]

Anyone knows, if this guy is a bootleger or not & if this is the original ADX CD or not?

I asked him if he can provide a picture of CD& matrix number, and all he said was:

Hello
the picture is the good one and the barcode of this Sydney Edition (original one) is 3229261927728 (the other edition : Musidisc have another barcode 9399084804538).

Not sure, I've never dealt with him but good old Vuvr bought it.

He sure gets around.

[Abyss]

What the fuck is that shit are they working together? I saw this other guy bidding on every first press of Devastation - Idolatry that surfaces on ebay,it seems rather odd to me.

I also never understood why people buy stuff that only has a stock picture, if its used it sure as hell better have an extensive fucking photo session if I am paying more than 10 dollars for it, you can't trust feedback nowadays especially with these bigwigs with 20k plus positive feedback, a rule of thumb is if they have 200 negative those are the only people that figured out they were bootlegs or that cared.

He's a cool guy, but fuck he's got more money to throw around at CD's than anyone I've EVER known...
