Please note!
Most of our CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and we are not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever we
can, we used recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
