Are they Russian editions? If so, then avoid them at all cost! You might get crappy quality + band doesn't get a penny from it.

Russian CD companys have so called agreenments with labels and they probably pay something but not for the artist, just "rights" to reproduce this label's CDs, no matter who artist is.
Even if one particular CD sells a million in Russia then band won't even know it...
This payments are probably minimal, becouse if record comapny won't agree, then Russians still release it and get all the money.

Russian versions aint'r rare on anything special like Japanise or smth...

the biggest firm is www.irond.ru
they reproduce and sell allmost all... and all the money goes to their own pockets...
So, if you like to pay Russian maffia then go ahead!

PS I can easely go to CD store and buy this crap (because they still sell them in Estonia also), but I won't, I just download or buy original if I really like the thing...

actually, i didn't even think when i ordered them that they might be. but when i got them yesterday, and inspecting the case/booklet and stuff, on the back of the case, where all the license information, and release date, etc, it was ALL in russian haha. oh well. they were a good price, so that's where i bought em from. i'm now strictly buying from the US though.

Dammit, I was going to post something, but then I realized that the last album I bought was Strapping Young Lad - Alien and that was shortly after it came out. I hate being laid off =/

Really looking forward to the new Foo Fighters, though.
