DEEP SWITCH-Nine Inches Of God.I have the CD and it has no booklet only the cover and behind the paper it is blank.
I think it was reissued by the band himself but that doesn't mean it is a proper reissue.I think they should have waited for a label to reissue it properly.
Too bad this band had great image and great lyrics and would be interesting to have some pics,stories,lyrics instead going to their website checking them.

Yes, it was re-released last year, 2 CDs (the 2nd with demo tracks) and a great booklet with lots of pics and infos.
Don't know about your CD.

I noticed on some of the "Metal Mind" reissues that the bonus tracks sound like they were ripped from crappy sources "bad masters, warped cassette" but the tracks they ripped from vinyl sound better for some reason.

Thanks for the reminder, Metal Mind re-releases are quite crappy - cant stand those cheap thin digipacks without booklets.

Actually they do include booklets its just on some of the releases they are crappy and some of the releases are in jewel cases while others are in crappy digi-packs and some of releases even have manufacturing defects to the disc.

At least Metal Mind use gold CDs for their reissues. The discs they made are far more superior to some of the tacky looking CDs manufactured today.
On a side note: the Roadrunner reissues (Sepultura, King Diamond, etc) in 1997 came with really nice booklets, bonus songs and solid gold discs. Sadly, those nice CDs are pretty much ruined by the bad remaster sound quality...
By the way, I do hate those (thin) digipak packaging. People need to understand that not all cover artworks look good on digipak (basically, nothing will look good on
thin digipak). Those 80s’ Metal covers and digipak just don’t go well together.

I'm happy I'm not alone
I even kept the Violent Force bootleg instead the "legal" 2007 reissue (on digipack -.- !)

I have noticed that Metal Mind reissues which first came as digipacks later changed into normal jewel case editions. This happened for example to Solitude Aeturnus "Into The Depths Of Sorrow" and Heathens "Victims Of Deception". Of course these later editions don't have any limitation anymore - but who really cares?
M.
P.S.: Some time ago I bought the Tank Box set. "Filth Hounds Of Hades" was defect, so I asked Metal Mind to replace it. They did without any problem. So it's not all bad with Metal Mind - but still I don't like their re-release policy.

I dislike digipaks, but a few of them are cool. I rather like the one for Sodom's M-16.

I got the original one and there's no lyrics too. Just the logo in the booklet, spread on 2 blank pages. And there is a mistake in the tracklisting too I think.
I haven't read the whole thread, but two things pisses me off:
1/ The reissues of Megadeth classics: I was waiting for the remastered sound, cause I thought it would be cool to had some power to the classics, but this dumbass of Mustaine REMIXED the whole stuffs... The result is obviously BAD.
2/ All the Black Mark edition of Bathory's CD contains several mistakes in the tracklisting lol. Apparently it's really tough to correctly print a tracklist on a CD
That's all, because I don't want to start thinking of all my reissues that has flaws.
