The Sisters of Mercy - Boblingen (1990)

THE SISTERS OF MERCY On The Wireless rare sessions CD

Promising descriptions, especially the latter one, but could this really be true?

Re the latter one, look who the seller is :wink:

Another typical tombmv issue, hence you don't know what you get - a rare item or, more likely IMO, a homemade one

Hmmm - Black CD! either he's being cryptic (unlikely) or trying to avoid saying CDR (almost certainly).

Wonder if it comes in an authentic WEA jewel case?

Taking a closer look at the picture I tend to say that black cd is referring to the colour of the cd/medium and not it's status (silver disc, cdr). However, a cdr is more likely ...

If we'd started such thread one or two years ago, we'd already been in the need to open a second one :urff:

However, maybe we should launch a new thread "Greek bootlegs" or "The ultimate Guide how to make money with Bootleg Vinyl Recordings" ;D

Agreed, however a black CD is still a CDR, they are just less common and from a descriptive aspect avoids having to say its a silver CDR.

Of course we could just ask if its a factory pressed CD and what are the matrix numbers identifying the plant. However I think we all know the answer here...

Yeah, so true. He seems to have moved on from selling the CDR sourced cassettes (complete with skips & gaps between tracks) to this homemade garbage :roll:
Seems a while since he logged on here, unless he's using a different account now...

In a way it's shocking that some of those fakes are sold for such a lot of money like this one ... :urff: ...

Unfortunately they know that if they make it look good enough there are people obsessed enough to buy it (even though it's almost certainly sourced from the same files that they already downloaded). £68 is taking the p*ss though.

the problem is that they didn´t make it look good enought, They took the artwork from the sisterswiki

http://sisterswiki.org/Amphitamine_Logic
(scroll down...)

the one that spent almost 80 euros for a show downloaded from the net with a stolen artwork and even based in mp3(I bet is or docsommer or ciberbio version that both were shared here as a mp3) is a total idiot

and the seller a total lucky BASTARD

Lucky? He's also selling a few others in series for a few weeks by now.

And he is not the only one ... see this person and this one ... not to mention Argentina, Brasil and yeah, Greece anyway.

Honestly, slowly it's a bit much ...

Ah, yes I forgot - Guernsey.
