that does not help much - i bought my 12" from an internet store and am a little afraid it might be a bootleg. so, does anyone else have the 12" with the same numbers etched in?
or does anyone know if there are copies with CHEMST21 etched in?

well it does help, it quite simple. the b-side, acid children has used the same vinyl press as the original electronic battle weapon 7 (chemstdj20). what was the point of creating a new vinyl press which will have the exact same music just to change the etching of the catalogue number on the press??

the point is: it has always been done. every single release has its unique catalogue number - and it irritates that CHEMST21 is etched CHEMSTDJ20 and CHEMSTDJ21. virgin could afford to create a new vinyl press, they are not a small indie company.

well i think your making more outta the situation than there is to talk about.
i was just going through my vinyl. have a look a it began in afrika. my copy has chemstdj-12-a2 etched into it. but the dj bit of the etching has been scribbled out. so this pressing is probably exactly the same as the electronic battle weapon 5 pressing (what do you think of that antype, does that answer some your EBW5 question). so alright they could have corrected your etching on the b-side of your galvanize single. but does it matter, i think your being a little pedantic over this, reading more than there is to read in the situation.

you're right, maybe i am. but, to come back to where i've started - i wanted to know to be sure it is not a bootleg. there are many bootlegs around at the moment... too many

the only question left is why does the white label bootleg copy of it began in afrika have a slightly different mix??
i'm pretty sure when the brothers dish out the initial batch of electronic battle weapons in white label form, 50 or so copies to there dj friend and dj elite. i remember fc kauna having a white label copy of acid children at creamfields last year. and i have seen a picture (although it doesn't mean its real) of a white label copy of 'electronic battle weapon 5' printed in black ink by a stamp (totally different to the white label bootleg). maybe the inital genuine white label pressings had the slightly different edit and it was this pressing that got bootlegged. i bet the full limited run of electronic battle weapon 5 with the red logo has the exact same edit as the commercial release.
you got there in the end antype, with a bit of flukey luck from me.

oh and while im thinking of it you'll probably be able to tell whether you got a genuine or fake copy of electronic battle weapon 5 by comparing the etchings to the it began in afrika 12". the only difference should be on the commercial version the 'dj' in the caterlogue should be scribbled out

It's unbelieveable how many bootlegs are appearing everywhere, of everything. I've purchased too many bootlegs to count, trying to get originals. *sigh*
