Probably they didnt know it was released on CD previously, which doesnt necessarily mean it is a bootleg. It probably means it was transfered from non-cdsource though (tape, mp3, etc.), since they didnt know it exists on CD... So my advise is to stick to your copy: the chance it could have superior sound quality, given the circumstances, is highly possible.

Unfortunately such pushy people do exist *sigh* I just got a German buyer who insisted on registered parcel. It has been exactly 7 days since I've shipped it and he already sent me 3 e-mails asking where is his package... P.S. Italy is the only West European country which do not accept GPM... kinda indicative what their postal services really are

Your avatar is great ! I can't stop looking at at ! I just wish there was more of it ... Yeah, as 80es arcade game addict I couldnt resist stealing Mario Bros. (I think this is Luigi Mario) avatar when I saw it. Funny thing is, I havent seen the movie from which it was extracted yet...

Oh shut! I've been looking for the upcoming WHW album for ages

Ah, the art of insluting someone with an apology

theoretically this happens sometimes, shill-bidding people cannot know if there would be a late snipper snatching their item for cents, so they usually place an early bid to some desired maximum and hope someone will outbid them. But he may not be, I'm just guessing, I havetn even checked his feedback

Bidding doesnt mean he's buying, he could be a shill-bidder. If you want to see a good example of shill-bidder, go check "obsidian-blade" feedback

Just a short note to let everyone know I just heard back from Peter C. formerly from Jaded Reign. Here's what he had to say: "Hi, Thanks for checking in with us! We recently lost our friend and bass player from Jaded Reign in a tragic car accident. The remaining four members agreed to release ALL of the Jaded Reign catelog as a tribute to Brian later this summer. Please keep watching out for it, we appreciate your support. Thanks so much, Peter C." I was saddened to hear abotu Brian, but the news of the pending re-releases warmed my heart a little.

You mean KILLING SEASON from Long Island, NY? If yes, I've heard their CD and they aint Death, but some sort of melodic modern metal with drum machine - not awfully bad, but definitely not my cup of tea.

What year is this release? From the computer artwork I'd assume it is mid 90es or even more recent.

Hey, is this one the gold VideoCD? I saw it in a store in Germany in mid-90es but didnt buy it for one reason or another, still regret it to this day, heh.

Its not so bad, just some relaxing music.

They shoudnt change this one - this artwork is pure classic! I hope the Greeks will release this by August. I'll surely pick them when in Thessaloniki this summer. Black Lotus is very hard to get outside Greece for some reason, their distribution is not very good

If I have to choose one it would be SANDRA I listen a lot to old 80es disco and have pretty good collection with all goodies from that golden time like Sandra, Belinda Carlisle, Kim Wilde, Scotch, Roxette, Limahl, Sabrina, etc. Good stuff

I guess so, yes

It is a very ordinary cellophane plastic bag with resealable flap. Costs about 2-3 cents per piece. you can get them on eBay, there are plenty US sellers carrying them (all made in china of course). I'm a bit puzzled, though, coz I always thought Retrospect had their duplicated CDRs factory sealed...

Better ask the seller before you pay anyway!

Did they came in jewel cases and in unopened sealed condition?

NIKOLAY NOSKOV - Best of 2001. Not bad emotional lite AOR with some modern touches from the GORKY PARK frontmen.

RIP by far, then 86 on distant second

King Diamond for me too. First 5 albums are awesome classics which kept me enchanted for years! I can't care less for the albums after that... Mercyful Fate first two are timeless classics too, and even "In the Shadows" was enjoyable, but after that pretty much like with KD albums they got way too repetitive for me to enjoy thoroughly. I havent even checked "The Puppetmaster" yet, and this speaks volumes how indifferent I am to the new stuff, considering KD was my undisputed favourite band for about nearly a decade way back in the 80/90es.

I found those much more interesting: ULTRA RARE HAIR METAL DEMOS SERIES CDs Vol. 1, 2, 3 They discreetly dont state who released them, but in the description it says "THIS IS AN OFFICIAL FACTORY-PRESSED RE-ISSUE - LIMITED TO 100 UNITS" , drawing quite interesting similarity to some other releases by a certain label

Sorry man, take it as my personal opinion only - that's how I felt about their early albums (I got hooked to Thundersteel in 1989). I adore 88 and 90, but dont bother for the rest. I'm sure there are plenty of people the other way around, as well as those who love them all, or hate them all. In any case you should try checking some mp3s and deciding for yourself.

Okay, here is the deal, if you dig badass power/speed metal with shredding gutards and screaming vocals, like APOCRYPHA, or Painkiller-era JUDAS PRIEST for example, then go and pick RIOT - Thundersteel (or Privilege of Power). Those two albums only. If you dig nwobhm - go pick first two RIOT albums, they are classics! Finally, if you are into traditional classic heavy metal - check the rest of their discography. All their albums are solid traditional heavy metal. But be aware, they are one of those bands like KISS: if you grew up with their albums you will love em to death, if not, you probably wont like em no matter what
