Hi all! I picked up "Spanners" two weeks ago now and I have discovered that the pressing (it is a CD) is really bad! Strangely enough it works on my own CD-player (which is usually very sensitive) but not on my radio station, it sounds terrible and some tracks can't be played at all. Has someone had the same problems (with this CD or any other?) What can I do? It was like this when I bought it. There are no visible damages. Can I force my record shop to exchange it for me? I need some advice ... thanks! /Oskar Enoksson

This was my first experience with a bad CD as well. Came home so excited to take this one for a spin, and the only thing coded onto it was an 11:14 track of squeal and hiss--boy were my ears happy with that one! Gotta remember to keep that headphone volume down when starting a new CD! Anyway, I took it back to the shop where I bought it, and they ever so cheerfully gave me their only other copy. Works beautifully. bella
