ABOUT OUR CDs

Unless stated otherwise in the item description, your CD will come to you with all original artwork, case and covers (buyers outside the USA & Canada have the option of having their cds shipped without jewelcase). Our CDs come from the huge overstock of our retail stores. Our CDs are generally in New, or Like-New condition. Our CDs are often marked in some way to prevent their resale at full price. Many of our CDs are marked with a holepunch through the barcode (upc), a cut through the jewelcase or a pen mark or other small marking/stamp or sticker on the package itself. These marks do not affect play in any way.
