Wrongly pressed CD?

[Funkstar]

Anyone ever bought a CD that has the right printing on the face, but contains completely wrong music?

I was ripping a bunch of new CDs last night and discovered one. My copy of Ghosts by Siobhan Donaghy (ex Sugababes) has 20 tracks instead of 15, EAC/freeDB has no idea what the CD is and it sounds like the soundtrack to a bad italian resteraunt

I got an RMA from Play, but i think i'll keep it, might become a collectors item at some point

yeah i have a orb record with the wrong song pressed on to it according to a friend who's into collecting rare vinyl its worth alot of money, apparently it was one of which 300 was pressed incorrectly and 200 was destroyed

Yeah i'll keep it. Ordered another copy from HMV, it was £1 cheaper too

Nope, but I wish I made an effort to buy a Paris Hilton CD when Banksy and Danger Mouse tampered with them

He's right, it might be. But value is a function of two things - rarity and desirability. There are some pretty rare items (including vinyl) that are still worth very little because nobody wants them much.

yeah cant agree more with you saracen, some of vinyl he says is worth money i wouldnt pay 50p for let alone hundreds of pounds

You never know.
I just sold my Joy Division Ideal for Living for £125 and JDs Factory sampler for £145.
I paid a couple of quid when they were released.
