  1. I remember when 21 GUNS, "Salute" album was first released and here in Australia you could only get it at that time on import so i paid the Aussie equivalent of US$ 25 to only see it two years time in the bargin bin for US$ 1.50. Lost out bad then !
  2. A while back i asked if anyone knew anything on a band call "Hands On The Wheel" in which no one did but the review sounded really good so i bided US$24.00 thinking an unknown band , second hand ,should get that for at least half the price and i was pissed off when someone else won it for US$24.50. Two weeks later i got it on the German Ebay for US$ 7.90. Sargant Fury's ,"Turn The Page" i had been waiting for ages to get ,but it would never come up so i got it through DISK HEAVEN in Japan {Mint condition , Jap Import with the book and obi strip} for US$14.50. The next week , 2 came up on US Ebay, one the European copy , the other a Jap copy with the book so i watched to see what they ended up going for. The European one went for US$ 24.00 and the Jap one i just got , went for US $41.00 So i saved US$ 43.10 on 2 CDS. Boy i'm happy about that Anyone else got a good deal story or even a bad deal story in which you saw the same CD you purchased , go for alot cheaper a bit later ?
  3. Good idea mate because i know where you're coming from and we know what the end result would be I must admit , i like your humor as i did a while back Dave !
  4. I don't think it was a case of him getting busted, because there are 100's of Russia sellers, i counted 51 this morning, all selling pretty much the same things....It's pretty much a circle, like the article that was posted on here not long ago about "Russian Bootlegging" of cd's......Goes back to the If you do not ask, they will not tell, and alot of times if you ask they still won't tell...... Later Lon <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are dead right Lon, i saw a fair few myself whilst browsing the other day and the other ones that concern me are ones "BRAND NEW AND STILL WRAPPED" from Mexico and Hong Kong
  5. Mmmm , very interesting !!! No Russian writing on it at all or CD Maximum on the disc or back cover ?
  6. O.K , maybe i'm not that intelligent , so would you settle for Johnny English then. He actually reminds me more of myself
  7. Don't worry about that , they don't call me Sherlock Holmes for nothing HE CAN RUN , BUT HE CAN'T HIDE
  8. As of late , i seem to spend as much time watching music DVD's as i do listening to cd's and the ones i keep watching at the moment are; BAD COMPANY - IN CONCERT {You never tire of this} G3 - LIVE IN DENVER AXEL RUDI PELL - KNIGHT TREASURES {LIVE AND MORE} BLACK SABBATH - THE LAST SUPPER {Dirty Women goes right off, big time} THUNDER - LIVE Can anyone recommend any other great music DVD's they never tire of ??
  9. A while ago i had the problem of purchasing several cd's from antan7 on ebay to find they were all Russian pressings that were not to be sold outside of Russia and boy was i pissed off about it and contacted MTM in regards to this as the first two that came were from their label. They wanted all the details stating that they are for the Russian market only and were not to be sold outside of there! What delight i had when i recieved a message from ebay this morning stating they have suspended the account of the seller antan7. I wonder if it has anything to do with selling "ILLEGAL COPIES" and maybe because he was selling so many , the Record Companies might have thought they need to put a stop to this ? If this is the case , they should not stop there because there are others i have seen also selling them. Maybe it's all just coincidence but who cares, as long as the dodgy is gone !!
  10. They also used Bon Jovi on it aswell. I love that film and got it on DVD not that long ago
  11. That was the first time i heard Hardline when i watched this film and the minute the film ended , i grabbed some money and within half an hour i owned Double Eclipse.What a classic !!!!!!!!!!!!! A couple of others that come to mind that i heard from a film and had to get were , "On Broadway" by Paul Rodgers & Jeff Beck from the film "The Cowboy Way" and "Let It Rock" by Chequered Past from the film "No Apparent Motive"
  12. Personally I love Marching Out ! Hope you like it. Let me know how you like the Macalpine. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Marching Out is fantastic, I had it playing all weekend. That was almost a no brainer though because I'm a fan of JSS. But before opening the Maximum Security cd I went to Amazon.com and listened to the sound bytes and decided to take it back. I just cannot sit through an entire instrumental album no matter how good the playing is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hear that! I'm a so-called musician and I have trouble sitting through an instrumental album! A lot of my friends are into Satriani, etc. but I can't listen to more than a song or two at a time... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Steve Fister's Age Of Great Dreams is a very good instrumental simply because it's an album that does not have the "LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE I HAVE A HUGE EGO THAT NEEDS STROKING" written all over it.
  13. I did not say the Russian's cheated me. What i'm saying is the sellers who do not let you know they are Russian pressings {Which are legally not to be sold outside of Russia } are nothing but an absolute and maybe the record labels should be keeping a closer eye on it or don't they give a fuck as long as they are getting their cut from it .?????????????
  14. Yep , all his CD's must be Russian pressings because i just got Alice Cooper's "The Eyes Of Alice Cooper" Digi Pack and Voodoo Hill "Wild Seed Of Mother Earth" and they are both the Russian pressings. Now i only have the two BURNING RAIN albums still to come. Pity it takes him 4 weeks to deliver otherwise i would have learnt from the first two i ordered and not ordered another 4 before i found out they were the Russian CRAP. The thing is, i am seeing more and more of these CD's on ebay in which some do state they are shipped from Russia. Funny though that they don't say any where that they are not the original pressing. MMMMMMMM , I WONDER WHY ???????? BUYER BEWARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder if MTM contacted this seller because they wanted all his information ?
  15. Mertz, it all comes down to ones taste. Just because they might say it's good or bad does not mean it is.Just have a look on this site with some peoples comments on some of the albums you might think are classics and you will be guaranteed that some clown will say it's crap or some album you think is shit , there will be somone who says its a classic. If you take a gamble on buying CD's from the sellers advice or even the peoples comments on the album from this site without really looking into it , you will win some and probably lose more. There are some people on this site with very good taste and some with none whatsoever so a tip i would give you is to go to the comments on your favourite albums and the ones you think are crap and see if there is anyone who seems to have the same opinion as yourself and then ,if you are thinking of buying a CD without hearing some of it first, check out the comments on that CD and maybe that person or persons have left a review that will help you out otherwise you are just taking a gamble.
  16. Who was the seller and what releases are we talking about? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry stormspell , i stuffed up and created a new topic !! My reply to your question is there.
  17. The 2 in question are "Big Bad Wolf" - Self Titled and "Wicked Sensation" - Exceptional but i also had Alice Cooper - The Eyes of Alice Cooper - Digi Pac , Voodoo Hill - Wild Seed Of Mother Earth and both Burning Rain albums already ordered before the first ones arrived so i am waiting to see if they are Russian copies aswell and i will be mighty pissed off if they are !!!!!!!!!!!!!! The sellers ebay store is Antan7 CD DVD and ROCK STUFF. His ebay i.d is antan7
  18. Actually, i take some of what i said back because Mario from MTM Music has now got back to me on several occasions and has actually shown alot of concern in regards to this matter and also wanted alot of details in regards to this seller and where they were shipped from. So to Mario and MTM , i thank you for your offer and concern and your willingness to look further into this.
  19. I just emailed MTM Music in regards to these Russian pressings of their releases and they have told me that they are licensed out to Art Music in Russia and are legal but Art Music are not allowed to export these releases. I let them know that these copies are slowly starting to flood ebay but MTM are saying there is not much they can do about it but the sellers of these CD's and Art Music should be notified that what they are doing is illegal. Do you really think they would give a shit ??? You would think MTM or any other label for that matter would take this up with the companies they give the license to but i suppose they are still getting their cut of the money and thats all that matters to them.
  20. Thanks to you all for your input .Unfortunately i've had to learn the hard way with this Russian crap.
  21. So which cds exactly are you having problems with? And are they trying to pass them off as the original deal? The ones I have really noticed flooding ebay and have bought that have been russian imoports are the 2 on 1 albums and they have always been listed as being russian so I haven't had a problem with it. Now if you are buying something like Vain - No Respect or Huricane - Over The Edge that turn out to be russian boots and are paying thirty-sum bucks a crack then I would be ticked too. Can you give an ebay link with an example? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The two i have just got are Big Bad Wolf-Self Titled and Wicked Sensation-Exceptional.They were both US $9.99 each but that is not the point. All he says is piad in US and shipped from Europe. The sellers ebay i.d is antan7. No were does he state Russian Pressing. The disc states CD MAXIMUM L TD , under license of Major MTM MUSIC 7 PUBLISHING. This cd must not be sold outside Russia. I also have 4 others on the way !!!!!!!! I'm not liking this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. I to have just recieved a couple of CD's through ebay to find they are the Russian Imports stating they are not to be sold outside of Russia.What is the go with these ? Are they legitimate or what and why dont the sellers state this when selling them.I've noticed now there is more and more sellers selling these.Unfortunately i have 4 more on the way and now i think i have been ripped off.If this is dodgy, why isn't ebay doing something about it!!!!! This is really pissing me off so could anyone shed some light on this topic?
