Ack!!! mine has a white (apparently paper) label with blue writing on
it - does this mean I should try and take the label off as soon as
possible?   What would folk recommend?   The sound doesn't seem to be
affected in any way just at the moment though.   Advice??

On the other hand my copy is just an ordinary CD not designed to play in
a computer or anything - is this ok?

Send it back to him with a note explaining the situation - I'm sure
he'll find you another copy - he's always been really friendly
and helpful whenever I've written!
