Just old "classic" rock. Not my cup of tea, either.

My guess would be a counterfeit disk, but the bigger scandal is your distaste for Grahm Nash/CSN
I could take a lot of that stuff when I was young, but my patience with it has worn thin in time.

I have a budget three-disc set of Charles Ives piano, with one channel inverted on all three.

I emailed the publisher (Vox), and the reply was something like "So? Whataboutit?".

And an early Stones CD that isn't, but I forget what it really is.

The rest have no memorable deflictions.

I bought a 2-disc album once that had two copies of the same disc (both printed the same too so just a packaging problem). I had bought it retail so I exchanged it the same day.

And I had one various artists disc with some songs listed on the case insert but missing from the disc and it had some audio defects. I ripped the good tracks and returned it. :p

In 1985 I bought Deep Purples CD Perfect Strangers and returned it because one song was in mono and had much worse SQ than the other songs. Later I bought it again and then it was OK.

There are a ton of misprinted CDs out there and it's something that's cropped up occasionally but regularly ever since the 1980s. Same for misprinted vinyl LPs both before and since the advent of CDs.

this is the AMAZING response I got from this company:
