The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

A similar pic of the bootleg would be useful... the problem is that the boot looks similar to these. I still cannot tell if I don't see the matrrix.

Isn't that the issue with this one, that matrix are identical on the bootlegs and originals and the only way to know the difference is to compare the artwork for differences in fontsize etc.?

As far as I know the only sure way is to compare matrices for the font. This is the original, bootleg font is completely different.

Heathen is correct and all 3 Merciless cds i ve posted have this matrix posted above.

The common 00's bootleg came from taiwan/singapore and looks the same ...
However matrix reads DURECO (01) ANTIMOSH 01 and the font used is different, so you ll spot it right away if you check a picture of it.
Paper quality is of course different too but there is no way to know from a picture.

Same stands for Burzum bootlegs like the one following


Note: Yes with parenthesis ( instead of bracket [

Here's one more bootleg matrix picture

All these were released back in the day, first press.
Same booklet, no barcode, no ifpi, same DURECO matrix but CD front side comes with inner ring in plain , silver and red
The red version has an extra sheet as it was distributed by DSP/Voices of Wonder in japan (imo thats the less common one)

Awsome, and thanks for the info! This is the last one I need to complete my DSP CD collection (got the vinyl version...). So if anyone want to trade it, please contact me.

yes, it is the same album. It was released in Germany under the title of "Spaghetti Rock" on Imtrat Music with that funny cover....

Thanx for the info, man. Do we know which year?

PS. Ha,ha... It looks hillarious, indeed. The triumph of bad taste!

1990

That cover on the the 1990 Imtrat pressing of "Passions" is just a one sided piece of paper that was placed infront of the actual booklet. The booklet has the original cover.

Are you sure that the imtrat version had a booklet? My copy doesn't, it just has the one sided sleeve (i bought it in the mid '90s). I propably am wrong but i don't remember seeing an imtrat copy with a booklet.
