The way that disk was packaged was incredibly stupid. The box was nice & the whole idea was a good one. But they overlooked one little detail. The cds were not properly anchored inside the boxes. So they came loose & moved around. Most of them were scratched all to hell & back again by the time anyone bought them. The result was that they wouldn't play properly. They would skip or get to a point & not play at all. I had to send one back to CDNow & get a replacement. I was lucky. The second one played fine. However, when I sent one to my friend Melanie for her birthday, the cd was once again unplayable. Finally CDNow was nice enough to let Mel keep the box & all the goodies inside it and they sent her a regular jewel case edition of the actual cd for no extra charge. Doing an early Joni retrospective tonight. Have listened to STAS & Clouds. np: Morning Morgantown - just started LOTC Mark E in wet & windy Shoreline
