German (Eastern European) Bootlegs?


Recommended Posts

I'm not coming down on this seller, or these CD's... In fact, I own several of these titles and the seller is nothing short of a great person... I only post this as it is listed currently on ebay and I'm looking for some information.

 

These CD's are bootlegs, I'm sure of it, but the quality is nothing short of first-rate. I mean perfect sound, and better packaging that anything being released from Mercury Records.

 

Does anyone know anything about these, or the similar series "Jewels Of 80'ies Metal - Collectors Series?" Again, I am not endorsing anything or anyone, nor am I slandering anything or anyone... just looking for info. The release date says 1993, but I know that's B.S. These are new releases, perhaps within the last 6 months or soon. There are some very impressive titles. In fact, the "Jewels Of 80'ies Metal - Collectors Series" has better titles that those listed below, including SALEM'S WYCH, COMMANDER, TAIST OF IRON, CRYSTAL KNIGHT, and many more.

Where can one find these CDS?

 

 

I found mine on Ebay Germany. They are all readily avai;able. I've even see a few sneak into the US market on Ebay, as well.

 

I can tell you this, SALEM'S WYCH - BETRAYER OF KINGS is absolutely fantastic. It's a shame the band doesn't officially release it themselves and add a few live tracks from back in the day. Pure 80's TRUE METAL bliss!

Well, whether their bootlegs or not, they keep planning to issue these types of CDs. I found out the following are coming out in December:

 

OUTSTANDING METAL GEMS VOL 009 - HAMMERWITCH / TROP FERROS / CASSLE

OUTSTANDING METAL GEMS VOL 016 - MASQUE / STREAM / GRAND BITE

OUTSTANDING METAL GEMS VOL 017 - AVALON - WYXMER - THOR (ARG)

OUTSTANDING METAL GEMS VOL 018 - PARASITE - WILLD PUSSY - WIDOW (uk)

 

Personally, I think this is awesome. Up til now, crappy CDRs have been the only way to get a lot of this stuff. I finally got some in from a russian mail order company, and this stuff is top notch, and in fact, better then most legit reissues coming out (if they are in fact boots).

  • 2024 HH Donation Drive

    Please support Heavy Harmonies! The donations goal is the out-of-pocket expenses to run the main site and this board for calendar year 2024.

    • Well... I mean... it's true.   Time once again to nag/beg/plead/insult (wait, what?) to help out covering Heavy Harmonies' expenses. Costs for the site run roughly US$195 a month, roughly the same as last several years.  So when I say "costs", what do I mean? It's the out-of-pocket expenses to keep Heavy Harmonies running: server lease, bandwidth, hosting support, and the subscription for this forum software, domain registration. The 2023 drive did pretty well, reaching 83% of goal of covering the annual costs. Let's see if we can meet, or better yet, beat that goal! The donation drive will run through Halloween, October 31.   Anyone who makes a single donation of $20 or more and has a board username will be added to the group "2024 Donors". This gets you the following benefits: A nice shiny icon in your profile showing that you are an HH Donor for 2024:  An increase in the size of your PM storage from 200 to 500 messages An increase in image attachment/upload storage from 20MB to 50MB Exempt from the search flood control (normally if you try and do a search more than every 10 seconds, you get an annoying little "please wait" message) No time limit on editing your own posts! This will especially be useful for those with trade/sale lists as you'll be able to edit them rather than posting revised versions. A warm fuzzy feeling inside that you are helping support Heavy Harmonies! If you donate $50 during the drive, either as a single donation or across multiple donations, you will be added to the group "2024 Gold Donors". This gets you the following in addition to the above: A bigger, shiny badge:  All your posts will be highlighted, because if you show this much dedication to HH, what you have to say is obviously more more important! (just kidding, but your posts will be accentuated). The ability to create a forum "signature" that will be added to all of your posts. If you donate using buttons on the main site, please put your board username in the notes section, and if you donate from here on the forum, please PM me the email address that you sent the donation from! Otherwise I have no way to tie your donation to your membership here on the board. If you are currently in the 2023 donor groups but don't wish to donate this year (or can't), at the beginning of the donation drive, your group membership features will revert to the regular non-donator membership group. Membership in the 2024 Donors group will last until the beginning of next year's donation drive, at which point you can donate again to remain in the Donors group with the same benefits, or revert back to your current member group. PayPal donation buttons are found at the top of all the pages on the main site and here on the forum on the right side at the top, or if you'd prefer to send a money order, check, or cash (not recommended, but I know some people prefer to do so), you can make payable to Dan Harding and send to: Heavy Harmonies P.O. Box 17021 Urbana, IL 61803 USA If you can't give $20, give $10... if you can't give $10, give $5... it's just once a year. (And if you happen to be fortunate enough to be earning gobs of money, please feel free to give bunches! I'm not opposed to having a sugar daddy... or seven.) As always, your support is greatly appreciated! -Dan
