Actually, any design work I've done for cds happens way before the discs
are mastered and pressed. The plant one of my clients uses (DADC) won't
work on the discs until they have all the printed material. And yes, this
stuff gets proofread by everyone and their mother and their dog. Chances
are there was a last minute change as the disc was being pressed or an
error at the plant. By then, all the booklets and insert have already
been through their expensive printing process (especially for a release
as large as the AI series). So it was probably just left as is.
