You've probably got the first or last disc of a batch. They changed
the stampers over so you get the sound of one CD but not the printing
screens so you get the label for a different CD.
As a matter of interest - who did the pressing? You can usually work
this out from the markings in the silver at the centre of the disc. In
the UK you'll see thing like 'Mastered by Nimbus', 'MPO' or 'CDP'.
That's not as interesting as the messages that the vinyl cutting engineers
put in the run out grooves though. Has anyone seen any good ones recently?
Cheers.
James.
