    First,

    Called a used CD retailer today and asked him if he had this. He said, "No...I don't think I...wait, yes I do have it!"

    Picked it up for a fair price. But I noticed that in putting the booklet in the jewel case, it doesn't fit. I mean it's too big either way (sideways or frontways). Did a search on the boards here and it appears that others have posted having the same problem with this particular DCC issue.

    Just curious if all of them are that way or are these just random printing errors.

    By the way...The CD is fantastic! Love the sound. Steve does it again!

    :thumbsup:

    Well.....my copy doesn't have that problem and it sounds perfect too. The only thing I've found to be a problem with the DCC booklets is that some seem to have problems with the production of their glossy coating (ie bubbles, chipping, cracking etc.) I think they went overboard a bit on the gloss and it maybe caused printing problems at times? :sigh:

    Thanks, Carl.

    It appears to be just a remote error with the one I bought. For now, I have to house it behind the slipcase.

    Mine's too big also. I was gonna stick it in a paper cutter, but haven't got around to it yet.


    Uhhh....my booklet that is. :eek:

    Thought of that myself, David. But then I thought...it's only 1/16" too big...and with the high gloss paper, if the blade isn't too sharp you'll get a cracked rough edge to the booklet. It might make it look worse.


    Steve...love the CD!

    Mine had the too-big booklet also. Don't make my mistake...I tried trimming it with a pair of scissors and butchered the top of the booklet. Ugh.

    Luckily I thought of coloring the cut edge with a green marker and now it reads fine!

    :rolleyes:

    My booklet is also oversized, but that's fine by me.

    My booklet is too large when fitted the normal way, so I just turned it sideways and it fits perfectly.
