1437.0. "Warning! Defective Monty Python CDs" by AKOV13::SALLOWAY (Jeux Sans Fronti�res) Mon Dec 19 1988 10:14

    	There is a nationwide problem with the double disk - Monty
    Python's Final Ripoff.  Most boxes contain two Disc 2s, and no
    Disc 1s.  This is not a hoax.  Please be careful when purchasing,
    make sure you can return the package when it is defective.
    
       Noteworthy has discontinued shipping the package until it is
    straightened out.  Unfortunate, because it has been out of stock
    for quite some time.  It will probably be late January before 
    good copies are available.
    
       -Brian (If you complain it doesn't do any good, look at these
    shoes, I've only had them three weeks!)

1437.1	you got RIPped OFF!	ENGINE::OWEN	In a Locst wind coms a RATTLE AND HUM	`Mon Dec 19 1988 14:07`	10
	Are you sure It's not a hoax. "THE FINAL RIP OFF", get it? Everywhere I go, the disc is priced at 17.99 or so the rip off isn't too bad. I've heard around that it indeed was intended to be like this. Steve O
1437.2	Uh-uh	HPSCAD::WALL	Stonehenge was a prank	`Tue Dec 20 1988 07:52`	10
	I don't think they could get away with this. That possibility occurred to me, but it seems to me there's too much possibility they could be successfully sued by people who weren't allowed to return their CDs. What's really annoying about this is that the disc labels are right. You have to play them before you find out. DFW
1437.3	Mine is okay!	SRFSUP::GOLDSMITH	Only 64.6% of my former self...	`Wed Dec 21 1988 09:52`	6
	I've bought one about three weeks ago, and other then the tracks being misnumbered on the first disk, I have two different disks full of Pythonisms. --- Neal
1437.4	Noteworthy says factory defective	NEURON::MARTIN	Flyin 'cross the water on a 747...	`Wed Dec 21 1988 10:23`	9
	I just got my defective copy from Noteworthy yesterday. A nice recording, lots of good stuff, 'cept I wish Decomposing Composers was on it! Just talked to them, they say they were 'factory defective' and wont have replacements for about a month, but would send me a check, credit my account, whatever I wanted, upon return of the disk. At $12.xx I cant wait till they get more in!
