My box was signed and the CDs play OK on both my - ahem - Linn player, also on my car CD.

At least they did play in the car - the blooming thing ate another disc and I now need a Torx screwdriver to get it out, with no guarantee the player will ever work again. The usual pliers, coathangers and lump hammer have had no effect. So if the software doesn't get yer, the hardware will.  Angry Angry


Maplin sell a very good Torx set, it's called the "Security Screwdriver" set or summat similar. I had to buy one to get into my Sky+ box to change the disk for a biggun.

Hehe, I was going to, complete with LED spotlights, cocktail stick flags and mini speakers, then I woke up Roll Eyes Grin

So I took Gub's advice, mailed them off and now I have replacements.  Discs 2 and 3 play on my CD player now.  Disc 4 did after a lot of persuasion.  Still no joy with Disc 1.  So close, but no cigar.  I still think it's weird.  I've got loads of Free Reed boxes now and this is the first sniff of trouble with their CDs.

Can't say I have had problems with any disks playing sometimes my car CD player has a fit with CDRs but these seem fine.

I think the booklets with this set are great - but doesn't it get out of date quickly! (stopping with a blank set list to fill in for Cropredy 2004 or whatever). I don't feel I have had the set that long.

As much as I love Cropredy I didn't really get the point of the cardboard model but maybe I am just a trainee misery.

I didn't make up the Cropredy paper kit, I would have done if there were hundreds of fold away deckchairs, tents and flagpoles to make up too. It would have been really authentic then and made the effort worth while. On important things like the playing ability of the CD's, mine are fine.

I've got signed box 1937  (dunno if the music's any good) and a copy of a very rude email from Free Reed which suggests that my stereo's no good.

Many thanks to the person who bought it for me though. It's always nice to get a shelf-filler present  Roll Eyes
