“How is a clear CD even possible? The data is written on the silver part?”: It’s clear to see that Lorde’s see-through Virgin CD doesn’t play in most CD players

Lorde CD.

Virgin – the latest album from Lorde released just days ago with a CD run being available exclusively via the star’s online store – has hit trouble with an increasing number of fans reporting that their £11.99 physical investment simply won’t play in their CD player.

Multiple fans are using multiple channels to spread the word that the exclusive digital keepsake – also containing a perfect, 44.1khz, better-than-streaming version of the 11 songs on board – is in actuality little more than a posh coaster after encountering a ‘No Disc’ rejection after insertion into their CD players.
