I really wonder where this 7" is coming from. I mean it was a rare piece always, but nowadays you can see it in evilbay every two months... hehe.

So I guess, It's a 'private' pressing. (another fancy name for a bootleg re-release)

This 'seller' does also sell a very 'strange' unknown sealed ep/mini LP by Simona Buja (former singer From Kirlian Camera) but to my knowledge, this album was never released. (or am I mistaken???)

http://cgi.ebay.com/SIMONA-BUJA-KIRLIAN … 3ca8c2259e

the funny part is, that this Rare - sealed record was offered (by this same seller) on Ebay multiple times.

I think someone is making some money smile

Re: Transparent Illusion +++

I dont think it's a fake original...but i'm pretty sure the guy bids on his own auctions. So many ultra rare items he has already "sold" a dozen or more times this year alone. They give him extra attention for the B-material he's selling i guess. And the less rare items always go for double the price they usually go. Before this account he used a few other accounts to sell the same items. Already going on for years...

Re: Transparent Illusion +++

no clue about that simona buja though, sounds fishy. Did you ask some of the italo experts like jogi, flemming or the dutchies van het eerste uur?

The anonymous bidding system is a very bad thing IMO. They make it very easy to bid on your own auctions.

Re: Transparent Illusion +++

That kind of stuff is happening more and more lately. Like the "picture disks" from Gatsby or Moskou, plain bullshit for sure. Even the maxi cd's of Q. Lazzarus are fake, believe me.

Re: Transparent Illusion +++

The Simona Buja auction shows exactly the 12" - I think the tracklisting of the auction is just fucked up because he has used the template from another auction, I am pretty sure, there are only two tracks on it, an not these: "NO HEROES"
"THE F***"  - but maybe you ask him!

what's you problem, really? You seem to need half a story to make an opinion. it's low by the ground and misinforming. Try getting the full story behind some actions by the moderators.
CBS censorship was no problem to you, apparently. Now you look and sound like a bitter jealous spinster. Get it off your chest man or are you afraid truth will bite you in your ass?

On a secondary note: you seem to have a thing with "loud-Edit" too? seems some people like marko have a better ear for talent than you as well. Edits respectless for the original artists?

At least Veronica and Rard arent selling bootlegs. Shame on you for your double standards.

Re: Transparent Illusion +++

are you kidding? I meant it seriously. I say what I want (others too). I don`t care about your story about veronicas... pfff. come down, man. Your sensor is melting by a few words.... if it was the mw forum what dm mentioned, who cares? we are here, and not shitting on it. I just said literally "say what you want" or "name it"... why not.
man... really. roll


I don`t get it with loud-e btw... (???)

Re: Transparent Illusion +++

yes, but this guy is hot on discuss all the time. why? I mean, I played one of veronica`s releases in my show tonight. What does he think? that I am sarcastic all the time, or a hater? stupid. And I am not into edits... What the f*** ?

those guys make forums a weird place, because they are the "style-police" themselves they mention (CBS,R4R) all the time...

Are you certain?  I have one of these and from very close examination, it looks real (down to the cd matrix).  Why do you think they're fake?

I'm 99% certain. Because it's always the same guy who sells them, he has been doing this for many, many years. If you search the net, a maxi-cd version is never mentioned and this guy happens to have a full box of them, weird to say the least.
I remember when it was on ebay once again some people started to ask questions because they were always mint + the fact that even the most devoted freaks didn't know of a cd-release at all. He took the auction away after these questions. A couple of weeks later he just relisted it but with "VG+" in the description. Don't know but it just sounds to shady to me. It's much easier to make a bootleg on cd than a vinyl version. If you have a good setup at home you can easily make cd's that look as good as official cd's.

+ very weird, the name on the cd sleeve is Q Lazzarus while the name on vinyl is Q. Lazzarus, with a point after the letter "Q"
