I recently bought the “Fungus Funk – F People” CD & it has a defect (please see the emails below). I informed SaikoSounds on 23rd August who in turn informed the label “Acidance” and after nearly a month they have not even bothered to reply. I guess people like me who paid $15 & bought the CD are fools and the people who downloaded it are the smart ones.
I have reproduced the mails below:

Hi Guys,
The "Fungus Funk - F people" cd has a defect.Track 9 - Yumi (final edit) ends abrubtly at 6.18 mins whereas it is a 7.30 mins track. Is this defect there on all the cd's or only mine?
Quite embarrassing if u are DJing & not aware about it.
Thanks
Punit.

Well, I'm sorry to say that we have checked our remaining stock and found the same problem - obviously we did not check every single one we have but we have checked several and the fault appears on all the ones we checked.
I am CC'ing Sam from Acidance on this email in the hope that he will reply about it.

Hi Punit
We have checked several of our remaining ones and each one has the defect you mention. Either we have a batch that is defective, or the whole pressing has the problem. We have 2 other customers complaining about the same problem.
Unfortunately Acidance does not reply to us about this, so we are limited in what we can do right now.
I am CCing the label owner, Sam, on this email in the hope that he will reply.
Bye for now

The music is not that great anyway so really doesnt make much of a difference .. too bad you got a bad copy of an average release ..
are they replacing your copy ??

Yea i bought a defected CD once as well. Nobody wanted to replace it either. If it was a local Tower Records there wouldn't be no problem at all. But with online shops, it's a hit'n'run relationship. Though i'm pretty sure that with Amazon it wouldn't happen. Everyone in the world is doing something without me |

My CD is fine. I guess it doesn't apply to all sold examples. |

It is still unprofessional... still, I just ripped, normalized, and reburnt a copy for my binder. A hassle, but at least it can be fixed (unlike actual track errors)...

I wrote to Fungus Funk too & he replied sorry but he cannot help me.The least he could have done is tell me that he will atleast have a word with the record label about the matter. And well yesterday Acidance records replied that they cannot do anything about it.
So yes I do feel cheated,a bit pissed & not so nice about it.

well, this is the first i personally have heard of this problem, but definately sounds like a manufacturing error... especially if it didn't happen on all copies.... unfortunately, at this time, i know of no plans to have the cd reprinted. as such, punit, if you would like to message me your email address, i will happily send you a wav file of the complete track with my appologies for this unfortunate situation.
Are you connected to yourself?

Bad move AcidanceRecords!!

I think this is nice gesture.........it was obviously a simple manufacturing error.....and the people that purchased the cd and supported the label and artist i think it is great that you guys keep supporting labels and artists as well........
we all know that most of the labels are barely making it financially and appreciate all the support $$ financially they get.....and for the labels to be able to reproduce a copy and manufacture another one would most likely put them in a serious bind........im sure it wont happen to often again..........and at least you will get it in WAV........
so anyway.......
cheers to aciddance and their listeners....
