This product is sold as a CD SECOND or SPARE.

• "CD seconds" or "spares" are perfectly good data wise, but have been put aside due to:
• faulty label printing, e.g. off colour or misaligned. A few have been manually labelled or corrected

over-produced initially, so offered as "spares" to clear

They are all offered at 60% to 90% discount (from the normal price). They will be supplied in clear CD sleeves, rather than the normal CD cases. In many cases they are the last available, i.e. they won't be available, even at full price, when sold out.
