hello, I am a brand new russian Monstrosity counterfeit, Beware of me as I spread on Amazon and soon will infect eBay!

Are you sure it's on Amazon ?

I guess it's safer to seek for the other two legit versions with different matrix codes ^^

Heathen · Post by **Heathen** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 7:17 pm

actually there are a total of 4 original pressings

It WAS on amazon, not anymore. A guy listed it (a few copies) as NEW for 19£ and my copy is a bit used from the printed side (this damned silver paint near the center circle...) and I was sure there is no boot, so I took one. Now I am shipping it back.

The seller actually is a big seller from UK who has original items and I was given an instant refund, so I don't want to spread bad wrd about him. I think he was fooled just like me by some supplier.

I think you may be unaware of this pressing:

Ok I think I know who is it. Very approximative seller indeed. Once I asked about a cd, they replied "yes it's the same label of the amazon entry, we have this" so I ordered it. Obviously I received the reissue (which doesn't even have the original label listed anywhere in the front or backcover, so I don't know where they could have mixed it). They sent a complete refund and apologized with a "keep the cd, no problem" message LOL oh well.

Yes I know that press, it's already listed here http://www.musik-sammler.de/album/16491
Longbox doesn't count. So, are there 4 ? Sure ?

Also soon will sell Morbid Saint bootleg. I don't know if will be Grindocre edition, or maybe Avanzada Metalica, i think that will be Grindcore...

I guess that's a bad choose from them, hopefully this time they will finally end into legal troubles as Morbid Saint don't seem easy to deal with (plus they also have their own 3 CDRs boxset out...)

ps. You anticipated also the Cranium cds, where do you get these infos so early ?

Oh yeah, Morbid Saint will jump on the airplane, fly to Azerbaijan, and will hire the best local lawyer to sue the bootleggers, all this while living in a 5-star hotel in Tashkent for as long as it takes... they saved enough of cash by pressing their own release onto CDRs and can do that

You're right, but I wasn't really meaning that, more to have MS guys threatening them (which doesn't hurt at all) and then shut down all the auctions on ebay by using vero program

Only I can say to you, that every Sunday someone says to me that bootlegs will go out this week. Is a acquaintance of Moscow but, I am not related with the fucking bootlegs:

Metal Treasures list this as a bootleg:

Doesn't it look like a typical Earache cd? What gives this away as a bootleg? I'm confused.

The matrix is forged, to me it is easy to see.
