European Farm CD Audio Problem
Dear Dinosaur Jr. Fans,
Please note that on the European CD version of the Farm album there is an audio problem. This occurred while duplicating the original master in a duplication studio. The problem occurred when the duplicate was produced, as the software program used for this duplication ‘doubled’ the sound layers. This resulted in a 3dB increase in the overall sound volume.
If you have bought a CD of Dinosaur Jr.’s Farm album in a European shop with the bar code number 5414939004926, and you would like to exchange it with a good version, please go the site mentioned below. There you will find more information on how you can see if you have a copy that has this sound problem and how you can get a new copy of the album. Both PIAS and the band would like to offer the fans something extra for this inconvenience, so in addition to a replacement CD, PIAS will email you a link to download an "Over It" Ringtone once they have
received your bad copy. A valid email address is required to receive the ringtone. PIAS is now going to cover postage both ways to make this exchange easier and less of an inconvenience for our fans. Once you've sent in your bad CD PIAS will include the same amount of stamps, used on your package to get the bad CD to PIAS, in with your replacement copy of Farm. Again, we apologize for this issue and inconvenience. Please go to: http://media.pias.com/dinosaurjrfarmcd for more info.
