How does this happen--CD defect?

Based on a recommendation in another A'gon thread, I just bought Anne McCue's Roll, a CD that is supposed to have at least a dozen tracks on it. After slapping it in the car player on the way home last night, I started thinking the second song started the same way the first one did, and that was odd. I then started thinking that the second song sounded a lot like the first generally. I then realized the first song was on the CD twice.

Then I got home at determined my copy has the third listed track on it twice, and *nothing* else. God only knows how many CDs I've acquired, but this has never happened before... How exactly, with mass production, does this occur? Anyone know? Is this common? Have I just been lucky?

I had a copy of 'Roll' that played the first song twice and that was it, though all the other tracks were listed. I traded it in for another copy which plays just fine. I've, of late only, had two other cd's which simply would not play at all due to TOC(?) problems.

I've a Naxos cd printed and cased as Johann Helmich Roman's "Music for a Royal Wedding", but which in reality is a euro/trance/disco kinda thing. Naxos gladly replaced it and let me keep the original as a curio! Anti-censoring??? Anarchists at work???

Edesilva, Now that I think about it, I suspect you're right, but my filing system (and memory) seems to be failing me, can't find the cd anywhere to confirm. Aaaargh!
