Hi there Voivod fans! Can you please help me?? I've just bought on ebay this NOISE edition (1989) of Nothingface, I am doubtful about the booklet: it should be a stapled booklet instead of a fold out poster booklet (and no band picture, but a total blank side), the seller says it's 100% original. Is he trying to ripping me off???See the image following below link: Nothingface strange edition Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Don't have my copy in front of me at the moment, but at first look this appears to be one of the lesser quality reissues, though still authentic.First sign of this is that the original CD pressing is printed with the Nothingface "song" artwork, no silver showing on te face of the disc. If memory serves, the artwork is indeed a fold-out poster (not a book) but instead of the back being blank, it features a band photo poster. Paper quality is pretty thick too. In summary, looks like a cheap Noise reissue, not the original MCA pressing (unless Noise carried this for selet markets?)...
Actually, here is a link to an original CD on eBay in which you can see what the disc should look like.

As a matter of fact, I do own the MCA edition as well, that is exactly how you describe. My doubt comes from the fact that metal-archives.com describes the Noise edition booklet as a stapled standard one. Not like mine, that seems to be something in between. A fold-out poster booklet without band picture on one side is mentioned nowhere... Here's the link at Metal Archives: Metal Archives Voivod Another weird thing: on my booklet, the font is not red but black (this should eliminate any chance of a photocopy) but, strangely, songs lyrics are grouped in SIDE 1 and SIDE 2 like a cassette or a vinyl! Thanks anyway forr your help!

as far as I'm concerned, I don't see this as a reissue at all...this looks exactly like the one I have at home and which a bought in early December of 1989...
when it actually came out here in France. you can be 100% reassured that its an original! it was very common to get those kind of "schoolboy's editions" from NOISE in the late 80s, like the LPs we would find in France were put in a mere white thin paper inner sleeve with no lyrics nor pic at all... sometimes with a small cardboard ad for merchandising...
My Hatröss LP is one of those, my KREATOR's Terrible Certainty too... at that point, NOISE had a local distributor here (MUSIDISC) and the records would unfortunately come with a cheaper packaging... -------------------- I hear the things you say but tell me...
what do you mean?
