There may be a problem with country of purchase too, as a few CDs bought within the last few years from the likes of Amazon and Play.com will be sourced from all over, as I've found a few bought from these places have been Canadian, U.S, etc.

And even before these, CDs bought from the local high street store may have been subject to similar practices of commercial logistics, as if HMV, for instance, ran low on stock of a particular title, due to demand say, you could well see the store manager getting on the blower (Telephone, not Trumpet), and calling HQ to get the Bat-signal up and have a few boxes of that title ordered in from a surplus in some other country's stock, even if that stock is of the issue for that other country in particular (not European, International etc.).

I suspect a few CDs bought in good faith in HMV in this way may turn out to be other country's issues.... it's only when examining a little more closely for this site that you begin to notice these things.

(And they would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for us pesky kids!) :grin:
