- I had one of these. It appeared to be two conventional CDs
- glued together. I was curious about both artists, but I never got
- to hear the disc; my CD player made the most awful mechanical noises
- when it tried to spin the disc up, probably due to the excess mass
- or thickness. (My machine's a Magnavox front-loader, nothing special.)
- So I guess this has to be counted as a promotional failure on
- Polygram's part. :-)
