I was able to dislodge cd #1 with some difficulty but without incident, but on cd #2 the spindle was so tight that when I tried to remove the cd, I pulled up too much on the cd without pushing down strongly enough on the spindle and the cd cracked completely through from its edge to the central spindle hole. I had to replace the set but found the same problem with the spindles on this new set. I was able to dislodge both cd's this time without any damage, and replace the tray with one on which the cds fit snugly but not too tight. Hope nobody else has had this problem.    Posted:   Jul 17, 2017 - 12:48 PM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) A simple and neat trick to do, if you sense the little grippers holding the centre of the CD are too tight, is to use thumb and forefinger to gently push some of them towards each other (avoid snapping them off), helping the disc escape it's hellish clutches.    Posted:   Jul 17, 2017 - 12:53 PM     By:   shadowman   (Member) A simple and neat trick to do, if you sense the little grippers holding the centre of the CD are too tight, is to use thumb and forefinger to gently push some of them towards each other (avoid snapping them off), helping the disc escape it's hellish clutches. I used this technique with some of the 4cd clam shell box sets, with success. Good advice is always appreciated.    Posted:   Jul 17, 2017 - 1:08 PM     By:   Last Child   (Member) A simple and neat trick to do, if you sense the little grippers holding the centre of the CD are too tight, is to use thumb and forefinger to gently push some of them towards each other (avoid snapping them off), helping the disc escape it's hellish clutches. that's how I handle dames, too.    Posted:   Jul 17, 2017 - 2:41 PM     By:   Tadlow   (Member) The spindles on this tray which holds the cd's in place are very tight; especially the one for cd #2.

What a strange and pointless debate...but I will tell Prometheus Records to tell his Polish manufactures to use a better quality of plastic as it might affect the quality of the recording and performance of the Czech orchestra. Maybe it is a dastardly campaign by the Poles to undermine the CZ government?    Posted:   Jul 17, 2017 - 2:43 PM     By:   Tadlow   (Member) The spindles on this tray which holds the cd's in place are very tight; especially the one for cd #2.

To my delight, I had no problem removing the disc. In fact, I repeated this several times with no problem. To those who do have a problem, I suggest you make a new home for the cd in a paper/plastic sleeve. That's what I do with some pain in the butt hubbs. By the way, I'm loving this soundtrack. Not having seen the film, (Blu Ray coming soon), I had low expectations. So definitely one of my fave purchases so far this year.    Posted:   Jul 18, 2017 - 2:23 PM     By:   Graham Watt   (Member) By the way, I'm loving this soundtrack.

I must be in a grumpy, confrontational mood these days (see my angry response from earlier today on the LOST IN SPACE thread) but, out of curiosity, why on earth would you buy something which you had low expectations for?    Posted:   Jul 18, 2017 - 2:46 PM     By:   Valiant65   (Member) I picked this up mostly based on the enthusiasm Tadlow has for this score. And I loved the sample. I just didn't know what the rest of it would sound like. Duel In The Sun is one of the very few westerns I have not seen. So it's nice to be surprised.    Posted:   Jul 18, 2017 - 3:06 PM     By:   Graham Watt   (Member) I picked this up mostly based on the enthusiasm Tadlow has for this score. And I loved the sample.

Okay then!    Posted:   Jul 20, 2017 - 2:36 PM     By:   leagolfer   (Member) I found that issue dislodging The new Long Good Friday 2cd, its a digi-pack. I got them out after 2-3 minutes but will not put them back, paper/card will eventually damage, bummer.    Posted:   Jul 21, 2017 - 2:10 PM     By:   JohnnyRoastbeef   (Member) I have to say I feel for the CD labels on this issue. I've seen a lot of complaining on this board about CDs coming loose during shipping (which certainly happens a lot, but has NEVER resulted in a scratch on any of the CDs it's happened to me on). Thanks to this vocal minority, it seems many of the labels have switched to far more secure spindles, which I agree, can be problematic when it comes to removing the CDs and not breaking them. I've never broken any, I always try to be careful, but I've seen some pronounced bending from some of my CDs. So for the CD labels, it must be frustrating because it seems like a no-win situation. When it comes to these spindles that are extremely tight, I've found that if I break off even just one spoke, the spindle still holds the CD very securely, but it becomes far easier for the CDs to be removed as well. I know there's probably a lot of pretty anal people that would balk at the idea of deliberately breaking off one of the spindle spokes, but I'm pretty anal too, so if I can bear it, I'm sure others can too. And it beats cracking a disc.    Posted:   Jul 21, 2017 - 3:15 PM     By:   Doug Raynes   (Member) As we're discussing the important vagaries of jewel case design, one thing which has often puzzled me is why European double CD cases are apparently designed for left handed people! In order to take out the second disc of a 2CD set, it's instinctive to flick the tray with CD1 on top, towards the left. Thereby immediately exposing disc 2. Simple! However, most of the European made double CDs which I own (including all of Prometheus and many of Tadlow) require one to make an awkward hand movement to the left of where CD1 sits in order to prise open and turn the tray which cunningly hides disc 2, to the right. No doubt this is easy-peasy for those left handed or ambidextrous types but I always find this type of jewel cases extremely awkward.    Posted:   Jul 21, 2017 - 10:47 PM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) I have had a lot of CDs where I thought I would break it getting it out but it has not happened before. Sad to hear this is still a possibility. Mine should be in the larger CD case I use now so any risk of breakage is minimal for me.     General Discussion: Warning on double cd tray with Duel in the Sun    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
