Anyone ever buy a CD, only to find the manufacturer put the wrong CD in the case?
That's what happened to me. I ordered a bunch of Bruckner CD's from Amazon. When I put one on, it was a string quartet and piano quartet by Walton. The jewel case is for the Bruckner symphony and the CD itself is marked as being Bruckner.
The recording itself is of Walton pieces.
Weird, huh? In all my years buying pieces of music, this has never happened.
Am I the only one?

Not with a cd but I remember buying the Michael Franks cassette with "Popsicle Toes" on it (can't remember the album title now) popping it into the deck and sitting down to read a book and listen to a little light pop-jazz and never hearing Popsicle Toes! I then << and >> the tape and realized none of the songs matched up to the titles printed on the case and the cassette. But I liked what I got so I kept it. But I never did get the Popsicle Toes tape though. Thanks for reminding me of one of my life's little mysteries  . |

Happened to me once years ago. I bought what I thought was Joy Division's greatest hits and got a collection of pieces of baroque music. I wrote to the pressing plant and got by return both the Joy Division album and the baroque music album with an apologetic letter.
Perversely enough, I ended up playing the baroque album more than the Joy Division. A few times a year JD can just hit the spot, but for most of the time, boy are they depressing.

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you'll get.

"Except in this case, it is a box of chocolate covered almonds, I guess you pretty much know what you're going to get"
"Did you know that more people are murdered at 92 degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. Lower temperatures, people are easy-going, over 92 and it's too hot to move, but just 92, people get irritable."

When I worked at a record store that took in used CDs, I was excited to see someone bring in the Rhino 2cd Cars collection "Just What I Needed," but when I checked out disc 2, the pressing plant had printed the Cars label on a copy of a 2-song LeeAnn Rimes single.

I've seen this happen with DVDs but never in my over 2500 CD purchases over the years... thankfully.

I've gotten the wrong vinyl record before and I once bought a 7" single record with the correct label on it but was in fact a Meatloaf single. Mearde happens!
Rachael, the big disc cat! I used to be looking for Hi-Vision Laserdiscs & D-Theater tapes, now I'm looking for HD-DVD's and Blu-rays.
I survived the AFI top 100 Film Challenge! I've seen them all.
favourite saying: hard feelings are for park benches... sit on that!

A few months ago, I went to buy the 2nd Rolling Stones CD on Abcko . When I played the disc, it was "The Rolling stones, Now" disc inside. When I returned it to Tower, a whole bunch had the same problem. A few months later, there was a story on this issue in ICE Magazine . You were supposed to contact ABcko for a replacement, which I did, but I still have not heard back from them

Yeah, I sent an email to Naxos. Hopefully, I'll get a satisfactory response soon.
We'll see.

I went in t Best Buy to replace a copy of Another Green World by Brian Eno a few years ago. The only one in the store had a jewel case front with AGW and the back of the case was The Concise King Crimson. Mead the store guy open it before I bought. I should have waited since I just replaced all 4 of the first Eno discs with the new DSD remasters and they are sparkling. No remixes or remastering just a great new transfer.
I know the hearse is double parked and the motor\'s running.
It could be worse, it could be me.
