As far as I know GZ will only fullfil pressing orders of labels and/or on request from another plant that is IFPI-approved. The matrix is also a legit GZ matrix, as is the IFPI-codes. I would more assume it is a re-print than a bootleg.

1. "Turbo music secretly re-released the CD to a limited quantity in 1992; around the time when they released albums by Acheron, Goatlord and Mortuary, this can be authenticated by comparing both the Turbo music address and matrix code with those bands first CD releases; there are also differences between the 1st and 2nd pressing, such as tray card and logo colour, plus printing on the disc."
2. "BOOTLEGS:
War Hammer Records CD released Spring 2002 with the artwork from the JLA/Turbo release, limitation unknown(C).
Turbo Music CD released Spring 2004 with the original artwork from the first release, but darker and a bluish colour to the skeleton priests, limitation unknown (L).
Lecter Records LP released 2004 with the original artwork, when compared with an original, the cover art is cut off on the rightsize of the jacket, limited to 300 copies(L). "

I have some Rage cds and some other with GZ matrix, i found somewhere, can not remember where, that these presses are from '92 (lot of Noise represses) and there aren't any IFPI...100% before '94

It's correct, I have a Voivod cd reissue with GZ matrix, bought in 92, no IFPI ...

I know IFPI codes where not introduced until 1994. Unless the label stopped existing before IFPI codes were introduced, there is still the possibility of the CD being a re-print. Because it is probably very difficult to get a bootleg pressed at GZ due to their reputation on the market.

This is legit but it's a re-pressing. The GZ plant started putting out CD's in the mid 90's and it has an IFPI Code.

Does anybody have info on the re-releases of Grim Reaper, Fifth Angel etc. by Southworld Records? They seem legit but I cannot find any website for that company and it makes me suspicious.

Does anyone here own a mint or near mint booklet of Therion - Beyond Sanactorum?

During the years I had about 4 copies of this and they all had one knick/bent in the booklet which was always at the same place (throught the "T" of "Therion")

I just wonder is that some kind of damage from factory or am I just very unlucky?

I guess in both cases I should stop my search for a mint one then.

Bought the remastered version of Helstar's Remnants Of War a few days ago, but when i put it in my stereo, it played Burning Star

Anyone else who knows anything about this, is it a pressing error or something?

If you have the 2009 edition, yes, this is a pressing error, there is also a Burning Star re-release with Remnants Of War on the disc.

I would buy a different version, 1999 Century Media for example.

Does anybody have any deeper info the two Black Cobra Records CD reissues - Recipients of Death and M.A.C.E.? Are those bootlegs? When were they pressed?

Is this a bootleg or the real deal? Seems very authentic to me.

My vote goes for boot. The matrix is identical to that of the recent russian boots (Angel dust, protector, vendetta etc)
