Just a heads up. I have seen a bootleg version of this soundtrack for sale in Japan on Yahoo Auctions. It is shrink-wrapped and comes in a black plastic case, not a jewel case as the original did. I havent checked the auction that the poster refers to above, I hope you get the real thing.

It would seem doubtful that one ebay seller would have more than one copy of this soundtrack. Even in Japan these sell between 150-200 USD. I when I saw these "new" bootlegs pop in Japanese auctions a few months ago, I knew it would only be a matter of time before they showed up on places like eBay. Best of luck, I hope you get a legitimate copy!

Hello!
I just checked the ebay auction and, sorry to say...that is the bootleg. I have an original copy I bought several years ago and mine came in a jewel case with an OBI strip. That copy on auction although supposedly "factory sealed" does not have an OBI strip! It also comes in the black plastic case (without a booklet/insert that the original has) just like the ones I have seen on Yahoo Auctions Japan. I know that Jeremy "Fantaillusion" on this board also has an original copy and he can concur that the one on auction is not an original. Like I said in my previous post, this CD (an original copy) is hard to come by even in Japan so its unlikely that a person would have multiple copies. Sorry for the bad news.

This is a bootleg?? I have no idea, because I cant find any picture of legall CD version, so, I thoug, that this is a original CD. Well, if this bootleg version has the same tracks like original CD, it is better than nothing, but the price could be lesser.

Hey Fighter 2,

Sorry, but like Eric says, this is a bootleg edition of this soundtrack. Judging from tiny label on the left side of the CD photo, it looks like this CD is made in Taiwan; the original Japanese edition has the inscription "MADE IN JAPAN" below the label TACD-00003. Another dead give away is on the back of the CD case; the legitimate version has a rectangular picture of Mark surrounded by a red background, while the bootleg has same picture but a black background. And, as Eric mentioned, there is no OBI strip. I hope you didn't pay too much for it. Even the promised bonus photo sounds dubious. I'll be happy to e-mail you some scans of the Triarrow release, if you want? So you won't get fooled again.
Best,
Jeremy

Thanks for info, I would be glad for some scans of original CD version. I paid much for me (125 USD), but for original CD I would pay even more. Can you tell me, if the tracks are the same like on original CD?

Hey Fighter2,

I sent you an e-mail. Thanks and good luck!

Jeremy, Eric: Many thanks for your help.

Could you at least tell me the tracklist to know how many tracks are there!!! Or somebody share this rare edition!
