Magnificent Remixes Promo CD

[Brad]

I would imagine that they are from a pack of CD-Rs and numbered sequentially.

[Crayon]

So if the 80 at the end indicates CD-R size (80 minutes) - which is often the case - our copies would only be 40 apart.

[Brad]

Mine is 6K863C0127980, so that does seem to be the correct pattern.

[Brad]

Just to confirm, the CD-R the Magnificent Remixes was burned on is identical to the CD-R I have for the Magnificent one-track promo.



Both are from Taiyo Yuden Co, who sells CD-Rs under the JVC brand name as well as generics under their own brand name.

just a note...i heard from paypal who said they were investigating some irregularities with my latest purchase and who had asked if i'd received this yet (I haven't.)  Mine's coming from the now infamous Ester on paypal...

[Brad]

Interesting.  I also bought mine from Esther using Paypal, but Paypal hasn't contacted me about it.  Everything seems legit, but I was holding off on leaving feedback until I know for sure it's not a copy.  Seems like a lot of people jumped the gun when they saw it was a CD-R and cried "fake."

[sleus]

Yes interesting.

Is there anybody here who actually did receive a cd from Esther - or whatever she calls herself - yet?

I'm still waiting...

Me! (*raises hand*)  Mint condition CD-R, though the plastic jewel case took a few hits in transit, seeing as how "Esther" had placed it in a bubble envelope.  Damn things should be outlawed for media mailings...

Yeah I know what you mean. Today I received my 5 track Magnificent promo - the one without jewel case, but in soft plastic sleeve and accompanying paper. It was also sent in a bubble envelope so you can image how the paperwork came out

Here's Mine

6K863C0127880

I would imagine that they are from a pack of CD-Rs and numbered sequentially.

I received mine as well. Seems completely legal, despite being cd-r.

But to follow up on the numbers: my number is 6K863C0130680
Looking back in the previous replies, we so far have:

6K863C0125180   Crayon
6K863C0127880   yseilys
6K863C0127980   Brad
6K863C0129180   God, Part II
6K863C0130680   sleus

and if I remove the last two digits (80, being the lenght of the cd-r) and the firts 8 characters which are identical for every copy so far, that leaves us with the following sequence

251   Crayon
278   yseilys
279   Brad
291   God, Part II
306   sleus

I'm trying to figure out how many copies were printed. So the question is, where did they start? number 001?  Or perhaps 200?
And where does it end, 306 seems very unlikely to be the very last copy.

Looking at the numbers at least 55 copies were printed so it seems safe to say that at least 100 copies exist.

any thoughts?

A friend of mine has 6K843B0452980

[Aaron]

And mine is 6K863CO130880

[sleus]

And mine is 6K863CO130880

Yours fits the pattern
251   Crayon
278   yseilys
279   Brad
291   God, Part II
306   sleus
308   Aaron

Your friend's one however seems to come from a different batch. Makes me wonder...

[Z000]

My assumption is that 6K, or maybe 6K8, is standard to these discs, the next three digits are a variable we haven't identified yet, and the disc numbering is really going:

01251
01278
01279
01291
01306
01308
