Just my 2 cents but if I saw someone list a CD that said 1990 original release, then I would think it was the 1990 pressing just based on them saying "original" release. But if they just said something to the fact as "released in 1990", then that's different and I'd ask first if I actually cared about the pressing being sold. Huh? I'm interpreting Matt's comments differently than you are. If the listing did indeed say "1990 original release" then yes, I think there's a valid beef. I'm reading the "original release, yes?" to be part of Matt's commentary, not wording from the listing. Matt, can you provide a link to the listing so we're not guessing what was actually said? Thanks, -Dan P.S. That's why I always provide high-res pics of the tray card back, so people can make their own determination if it's the pressing they are looking for, rather than leaving it open to interpretation... Yeah...the "original release" is my commentary. It doesn't say that in description (doesn't say reissue, either, for that matter). Here's a link: https://metalmayhem.com/shop/view_product.p...product=up00570 No pic (convenient, cause the artwork on this reissue is different than the original). Just says "Year Of Release 1990". Sorry, but I still take that to mean that this is a 1990 pressing. If it's a reissue from 1999, it should say so. At the very least, it's intentionally deceptive. I dont see anything in this thats wrong. Tyr was released in 1990, which is all I read it as. What you have to remember is most people buying CDs really dont care if its an original issue or a reissue, so to start putting in info like "reissue" would be pointless. Simple fact is, if you want to know whether its original or not, email them. If they dont answer, dont buy. I have bought CDs off eBay and Amazon in the past, where I want specific issue, whether it be for specific track listings or covers etc, and before buying I have emailed them to check. I really dont think Metal Mayhem has done anything wrong here. Must be just me I guess from the comments on this thread. To me, I read 1990 as meaning it's an original pressing from 1990, especially since there is a reissue floating around. And I disagree that "most people" don't care about the pressing...at least the ones shopping at Metal Mayhem. They specialize in rare & out of print cd's...there website proudly proclaims "Metal Mayhem is your place to find those rare and hard to find metal CDs you've been wantin' to get your grubby little paws on." I'm just saying that if he's selling a reissue, the way it's listed is misleading...& I believe that's by design.

Well, this wasn't a CDR...just not the pressing I was expecting. We'll see if he accepts a return.

You gotta be kidding me. If this wasn't Metal Mayhem, I'd give the seller the benefit of the doubt & chalk it up to a misunderstanding. But listing the year of release as 1990, anybody would assume that this was an original pressing, not a reissue, & I'd bet anything that it's listed this way intentionally. And I believe their track record for answering emails has already been covered. 9 times out of 10 sellers list the year of the pressing, not the original year of release...at least that's what I've noticed on the stuff I've been picking up. It seems to be the rule rather than the exception.

Well, maybe not a boot, but sure as hell not what I ordered. In their catalog the year of release is listed as 1990. The ol' bait & switch. Cocksuckers. Plus, like I said...the version that I got is some kind of European reissue from 1999 called "Classic Rock Series"...NOT the original from 1990.

I ordered a copy of Black Sabbath - Tyr from them. The product details say 1990...original release, yes? No...what I received is a cheap bootleg on International Records Syndicate, Inc from 1999. So now we know why they ignore emails concerning product details...fucking scam artists.

While I enjoyed Garage Days, surely you don't prefer that over the AML? That album is a classic. And I'll take anything 'Deth have done since 1990 over anything Metallica did in that same period, up to & including United Abominations.

I'm thinking I read somewhere that they're releasing (another) greatest hits album with 2-3 new tunes thrown in.

Is there any singer from the 80's who has kept his voice in better shape than Eric Martin? Damn, he sounds good!

Mr. Big is stuck in a time warp...this song sounds like it could've come off any of their classic albums from the 80's-early 90's. It's not gonna win over any new fans, but if you dig the band, this is really good stuff. http://www.melodicrock.com/audio/MrBig-NextTimeAround.mp3

You bet your ass. I'm only afraid I'd start acting like a total dork when I met him. The Chris Farley skit of him interviewing Paul McCartney comes to mind...

So I go to visit my sister this weekend for my nephew's birthday, & she casually remarks that the father of one of the boys that plays on his baseball team is in a "heavy metal" band & that I may know him. I ask her the guy's name & she says Tom Keifer...I about shit my pants. How cool is that?

Matt, I can't remember if you ordered from me or from Kivel, he shipped Friday, I shipped Monday so either way you should have it any second. I ordered from Kivel, but forwarded you the order confirmation (I think to make sure I got a signed copy). No big deal...just anxious to hear it. Thanks for the info.

Me too...hoping my copy arrives today. Can't wait to check it out!

This is true, it's not as if Jon himself would've gone to his Management Company and asked them to take this action. It never works this way. I hate defending him though, especially in a Flamefest thread, so I'll close by saying he's a talentless egostistical twat. What do you mean it never works this way? JBJ may not have initiated this, but you can be damn sure it was done with his consent.

Afraid to come to a lynching?

If anyone had any question that Bon Jovi was a bunch of prima donna cocksuckers, they've just removed all doubt with this stunt. Unbelievable. Hey Jon...

This discount operates only for US residents or for the others too? I assume it works for everybody...& the code is HH2009, not HH2209...sorry.

I would hardly classify most of those songs as "hard rock". Just sayin'... Dude, this is a friendly but serious question: Keeping in mind we're talking about 1973 to 1979, what exactly would you call hard rock from that era if not Love Gun and Detroit Rock City? Actually, I was comparing their 70's songs to their 80's songs, not other songs from the same era...

I would hardly classify most of those songs as "hard rock". Just sayin'...

Backed...they don't acknowledge those releases as they should...some of them (Lick It Up, Animalize, Asylum) are some of their better releases.. While their early album are where all the "classic" songs are found, it's the 80's albums that have the better songs IMO...Lick It Up & Animalize in particular.

I ordered High Noon, Charlamagne, & Pistol Dawn & all arrived late last week. These are some kick ass releases all the way around...nice looking inserts, silver pressed discs, & the music is awesome. Kudos again to Steve for putting these out. I can't wait for the next batch of releases!
