Subject:: (idm) RAC-'Diversions' -- mis-pressing

Hi folks, This isn't strictly a 100% IDM related post, so my apologies of anyone feels the need to haul out the flamethrowers ... but I'd appreciate any feedback you'd care to give ... I purchased a CD direct from Warp [RAC - 'Diversions'] recently, arrived with a pleasant 'thunk' on my doormat, proceeded to play it. It wasn't RAC. Strange ... Contacted Warp, who confirmed that there were a small number of CD's mis- pressed; it was an album by The Troggs ['Walk on The Wild Side', IIRC], not an EP/single by RAC. So now I'm stuck with a CD that's in an RAC case, RAC inlay card, RAC CD label, but the tracks are wrong. Before I haggle with Warp to get a new one [presumably right one this time], would I be better off keeping it as a rarity [does it actually have any value -- it's still technically mint], or writing it of as a bad experience and sending it back. Anyone with any know-how in this matter that has a couple of minutes to spare, please get in touch.

keeping something for its rarity is pretty useless unless you follow the artist to that great of an extent .. but since you seem to not have any attachment to The Troggs, it doesnt seem worth it to keep .. music was made to be listened to .. not collected -apheks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

From what I recall, Warp let you keep any items sent in error. Unless they explicitly ask you to return it, keep it as a souvenir. If you don't like the Troggs, then just stick it up for auction on Ebay, or find a Troggs mailing list. I'm sure some diehard fan will be curious enough to take it off your hands. -- Mark Stevens http://www.headspin.clara.net/ http://pressx.cjb.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
