Hi there - just came across the link to this thread! Just to confirm yes, Mosh Tuneage is a legitamite label - so far we have put out around 10-12 releases, 8 of which are classic UK late 80s/early 90s thrash and death metal licensed from the RKT Records and CMFT Records. Although we only started this year, we have been running a hardcore punk label called Boss Tuneage for 23 years and have licensed and released over 300 releases over the years on that..we set up Mosh Tuneage just as we thought these thrash releases needed a sublabel to put them out on...but thats probably why we're not well known in the thrash world yet, as we're learning our way a little - although i did personally put out a comp tape called "The New Wave Of Thrash Metal" way back in 1988 and we did a zine/used to write to some of the bands we've now ended up reissuing...
We've involved all the bands as much as possible in the reissues as much or as little as they wanted and paid the original labels licensing fees for putting out the re-issues..
So yeah check our releases out, we'd like to release more stuff but getting the rights from the labels can be time consuming / impossible in a lot of cases, but we are hoping to do more!

And Metalliced, yes we did have to remaster Moral Crusade from an unplayed copy of the LP as the DAT tapes (which are here on my desk as I type this!) had chewed up and were not usable!) - we try to go from original masters wherever possible!
Currently on the search for members of ARBITRATOR or PURGATORY if anyone is in touch with them!!
Cheers!
