While browsing through a Pound Shop in Romford yesterday, I found a “Classical Greats” Double CD. Heck for £1, if it’s no good then it is not exactly a great loss.

But I never thought why it was that price until I looked at the case and ahah! This is genuinely as I found it- no photoshopping of the scanned image except to highlight it with a red box drawn round the affected area. It’s from the external cardboard CD box. The inlay for CD 1 is correct on the inside but on the back has the same mistake. The 3rd track is actually by Bizet who appears to have been deleted so all the following names are out by one except for the last.

I reckon the perpetrator knew that “Ride of the Valkyries” was by Wagner and adjusted it, but weirdly added Debussy in to fill the gap. There are NO Debussy tracks on either CD (D’oh!) . He clearly forgot the idiom “When you reach the bottom- stop digging!”

So with a batch of dodgy CD inlays the publsihers could hardly flog this full at full price (I think it was a budget range anyway) and it would have cost too much to reprint so they sold them off cheap to the “Remainder market” or wherever Pound shops buy their stuff from.
