My CD horror story!

[metalhead69]

Wow where do I start? I have a huge cd rack that I bought from a cd store that went out of business last year that I have in my basement with most of my rare stuff in it nice & organized w/ spines up for easy searching. This afternoon I went down there to get an Elton John cd I wanted to listen to that's in a cardboard case & when I picked it up it was kinda damp & the cover was water stained. I knew I had bought it brand new so I was like WTF?? So I starting looking through different rows & picked up another one & the back insert was water logged & that's when panic set in & my heart started racing!!! I then look up & my fucking rack is right underneath the air conditioner water line which had some condensation on it so it had been dripping on my cd's for about a week!!! Oh my god I was so fucking pissed!! I pulled it out from against the wall & starting pulling all the cd's out & checking them for damage & had over 40 with water damage to the back inserts & some to the front cover but did avoid damage to any of the rare stuff I have which was barely spared...I did lose the back inserts to COLD SWEAT - "BREAK OUT" & the original BANSHEE - "TAKE 'EM BY STORM" which almost made me ...other than that the other ones can be replaced so it could have been much worse.

Now I'm not looking for charity, but if anyone has any of these they don't want & just want to give them away I would definitely pay for shipping or we could trade as I have done some trading with a few folks on here so just PM me...Also the ones with an (*) are top priority.

And by the way when I do get replacements for these I will give the damaged ones away to whoever wants them as the cd's themselves are still fine. Thanks in advance guys as any help is appreciated!

Geeez that's harsh mate! Sorry I can't help ... but I hope you get your replacements sorted!

[glam_junkie]

i had a great white disc somewhere that had different front and rear inserts..

i have a feeling it was the "once bitten" rear insert.

[cdjunky41]
