Disc Information
Common
terminology and information for both this site & my Ebay listings
| |
Abbreviations
|
|
| |
OOP = OUT OF PRINT |
JPN = JAPANESE |
|
HTF = HARD TO FIND |
IMP = IMPORT |
| |
s/t = SAME TITLE |

|

|
|
| |
Imports |
|
| |
Any CD that says in the
description "IMPORT", Japanese or otherwise, is in ENGLISH as the
regular Domestic ones are. The lyrics and artwork are all the same and
in English. They are usually more desirable due to the superior mastering on
a lot of them. |

Remastered Discs |
|
| |
REMASTERED means that it is the
original recordings which have been REMASTERED. In other words,
they have usually taken the ORIGINAL LABEL MASTER TAPES and REMASTERED them
into the digital format for FAR SUPERIOR SOUND QUALITY.
A lot of the older CDs were rushed released and they used poor quality
reference masters. The newer Remasters not only benefit from the original
first generation mix-down masters but the newer technology in equipment that
is available recently has improved the sound quality dramatically. These are
NOT re-recordings. They are the original recordings. |

HDCD |
|
| |
This is a format in CD mastering
that improves on sound quality and adds to the band width available.
Any CD that says HDCD plays fine on any CD player, but sounds even better on
a player with HDCD compatibility. |

Condition |
|
| |
I buy a lot of discs
direct from labels in EUROPE & GERMANY who do not seal their product. The
USA and JAPAN are the only countries that seal all their product, for theft
discouraging purposes mostly.
I also buy from
USA Distributors that take the shrink-wrap off so buyers can't return the
discs as new product for a new product refund. If a disc says NEW/UNSOLD it
is NEW/UNSOLD. It is not used merchandise, even if it is not
sealed.
All other descriptions
are pretty self explanatory but below is a good in-depth chart so there are
no misunderstandings.

This should be self
-explanatory. If the listing says it MAY have any of these things,
the item will have it. Stamp on cover is a promo stamp that is
placed there by the record label designating promo issue. |

Availability |
|
| |
A large portion of what I sell
are hard-to-find, collectible and imported CDs. I have only one,
maybe two of many of the items on this site. All items are offered
on a first-come-first-served basis. What you see today may not be on the
site tomorrow. I do not hold discs. |

Original Discs vs. CDRs |
|
| |
I do
not sell CDR's so anything you are purchasing is a regular CD,
unless it was released by the artist independently as a CDR. This will
be noted in the condition as such.
If there are any promo slits, holes in upc or record club issues it will be
disclosed in the condition section, which is at the end of the information
on the item detail page. |
