i shall do that.
so what is the actual defect? is it a mold or something?

Holy Smokes, I thought my copy was the only one that did this!

No shit. Me too.

Dave, should I just send the disc, or do I need to send the packaging as well?

[tinobeat]

can either of you scan the backs of your discs at pretty hi-res? those patterns look awesome.

Your call. Just make sure it is sent to Dean's attention and that all info like where to send the replacement is in there.

I would, but since Matador never said anything about it being a known defect, I thought something was growing in the CD and threw it out before it could affect the other CDs around it. So I guess Mogwai got their revenge on me after all

I don't think we've seen it yet, but we'll scour everyone's mailbox to see if it has been misplaced.

Hey Elijah,
I haven't seen this yet, did it come with a note about the problem?

feel free to send an email to dean@matadordirect.com
Take care,
Dean
