I have this - there's no label info on it. Do you know more about it?

I have it too. It's a bootleg (not a fake replica, just illegal pressing) and SURELY not made when the banana says (...on purpose, just to sell it more easily). A better guess would be mid-late 00s.

I discredited that for reasons already stated. 1995 Makes sense to me.
While I don't have the Holy Terror CDs specifically I have other Japanese CDs and I just checked, most of them have the same Kanji-character in front of the price as in front of the later date. Therefor I discredit your reasoning that the later date is guaranteed to be the release-date.

I have the First Holy Terror CD but we aren't talking about that one. You cannot dispute that IFPI Codes came into effect in 1994.

This is getting stupid. I paid $30 for each of Assorted Heap discs...

maybe you don't read japanese. but this japanese database say the release date of this Holy Terror is 21th OCT 1993. but they was pressed only one time? maybe no. they might be repressed many times after 1993, and the matrix code can be changed. i have asked some japanese sellers for the matrix code of 1st japanese press. but nobody knew that. people believe his CD is 1st japanese press if the catalog number is the oldest one. and such thinking is good for their health.

User updated databases are full of errrors.

Maybe if the date is 1993-1995 then there can be versions pressed throughout these years, early ones without ifpi, and later runs with ifpi?

I have never seen a copy without an IFPI code in over 10 years.

yep
at least mindwaves still sells at "normal" prices(60 average)
used to sell for a little more, but too many bad/lukewarm reviews killed the hype.
now the first cd is the one with all the hype

the site is not such one users can update as like http://www.metal-archives.com. one of the company's service running the website is to sell various data for music. do you read japanese? i can read japanese. and the insert of Holy Terror is saying that the CD was released on 1993.

by the way, Violence "Eternal Nightmare" Japanese CD has "at least" 2 different versions. same obi and a little different disc. i don't know if both has same matrix code but i remember there is a web site where is comparing the 2 different versions a couple years ago.

here is a good example for release date. you know the release date of new Hellween cd is 2013. and you can read two date from the back insert (even if you can't read japanese)

one is "13.1.16" and the other is "13.7.15 まで (= to)"

that means the cd was released on 16th JAN 2013, and the retail price will be validated to 15th JULY 2013. (it seems the retail price is validated for 6 months nowadays)

do you still believe the release date of new Helloween CD is 15th JULY 2013,

funny story with this one. I would have scored it for a good price if it wasn't for the damage and skips. I saw him listing it in a huge lot and made an offer for it. He had no Idea what it was worth. But then I saw the damage so I enlightened him and advised to list it separately.

I don't know about that Helloween CD but my guess regarding the Onslaught CD is the first date is the date when the license was acquired and the second was the date the actual CD was released like copyright and publishing dates on other records.
