I didn't say I have them, only that I have seen them. I've even sold them. They tend to be those $5 budget CDs you see at the checkoutlines, or the classical compilations sold by Starbucks and the like. They're the "classical for babies" and the "classical for dummies" and the "classical for this that and the other" compilations. In short, they're the cheap classical that isn't normally stocked in the "good classical record shops" (I miss the good one of those I had in Baltimore!), but rather at the grocery store, the coffee shop, the bakery, or the bath and beauty products store. But just because they're cheap, or they're aimed at primarily an audience which doesn't listen to much classical, that surely doesn't mean we'd want to still treat them as "cheap junk listings" when it comes to listing them in the database, does it?
