Title: Have you seen this Ebay listing
Post by: johninblack on Thu, 2005-11-17, 02:19:03

Is this one of those Russian rip-off's?

The bit that worries me is the bit that says:

QuoteYou are bidding on the Arena album ' Contagion ' released on the Irond label under licence from Verglas Records.

And: "17. Witch Hunt [remix / bonus track] 18. Salamander [remix / bonus track]".

I don't have those on my contagion :-\

This is most surely an illegal release. I am not a member on ebay.co.uk, so I cannot report this CD to ebay. Let's see what Clive says.

Actually, we have licenced the album to Irond records in Russia.... it's our attempt to fight the bootlegging over there.... :)

So having it would actually be kind of a collectors item for us western europeans :o

Nah... I just wait for Contagion The Max.
It does have the both remixes on it, right Clive?
Or doesn't it have them?

Thats good, about 90% of the 25-30 listings for Arena are these russian imports, The one I found really, really suspicious was The Cry, Contagious, Contagium all on one CD.
