| If your library holds the title described below, you might want to listen
| to it and verify its contents.
| 
| One of our faculty members checked out our copy of guitarist John Williams'
| 2-CD set, "The great guitar concertos" (CBS M2K 44791). He returned it,
| reporting that the CDs don't really contain guitar music at all.  At least
| not classical guitar.
| 
| I spot-checked both CDs and found that in fact they were recordings of
| popular music. Out of curiosity, I took down some first lines and
| determined via an OCLC keyword search that one disc is Rosanne Cash's
| "King's record shop."  I was unable to identify the second disc, which is
| another recording of a female pop singer.  (I admit that I didn't spend a
| lot of time on this.)
| 
| This is not a matter of discs being switched from different containers.
| The printing on the label of each disc matches the Williams/Guitar
| description on the case.
| 
| The real Williams recording is a 1989 compilation consisting of previously
| released material.  We added the title to our collection just last year,
| and our system shows this to be the first use of the item.
| 
| The vendor, BMG, has offered to send us a replacement, which we hope will
| really be John Williams playing guitar concertos.  But since our copy is
| probably not a unique mistake, I thought I'd send out an alert.  And I'd be
| interested to know if there are any others like this.
| 
| Thanks.
