1st post...just found this site and how good is it?!?! MINT
I bought Rezurrection on release day - I mean after so long without a new Bonkers CD what else would you do?
Two weeks on i've actually got skipping on Sy CD - last track - at about 4 mins 38 sec [approx.]
Take the CD back to HMV this morning - 'Sorry sir, try one of these great lens cleaning disks...that'll clean your player up' [regardless of the fact I don't him it skipped on my laptop [2 months old], my car CD player [8 months old] and my HiFi - about 5 years old. I also explained a couple of friends had also bought Rezurrection and they had mentioned skipping on the CDs.
So I go away havin paid 15 quid for this lens cleaner 'thing' - still skips...no surprise there. So I have a look about on the net for 'You're Shining by Breeze & Styles' cos i've fallen in love with the track...I happen to stumble across hhc.com - ooh and there's a big notice about the CDs being fubar.
So I print of the first page of the forum...whip down to HMV as fast as poss. 'Sorry sir, we won't swap your CD or give you a refund - regardless of the fact you have a receipt, because the CD appears to be scratched'
The other CDs are of the same - or WORSE condition [not that they're in any bad condition at all having been only played over the last 2 weeks non stop] and they play fine...also my other thousand or so CDs work fine, @ home, in the car or on the laptop....I show him the dialog from hhc.com - still no joy...the manager comes down...interates the points the scrote @ the desk does...
So there you have it...HMV suck...I have Rezurrection that skips...i'll be calling HeadOffice Monday and maybe contacting React too to let them know how shit HMV are.
I did say to the manager @ HMV about opening a copy from the shelf and playin that and seein if it skipped...he said he'd still not give me a refund - I said 'What you gunna do? Sell the bloody CD on if it's in good nick?' Bit of a con going on somewhere....
Anybody else have problems taking their CD back? Maybe I should just keep it as a keep-sake and buy a new copy when a new batch is created...
Who knows...
Thanks

I can't believe how many people must have posted in this topic to complain about how Bonkers 8 skips without actualy reading the main message, which explains everything about why it skips, it's got nothing to do with any shops.

I'll think you find that every tune on the Sy mix has been on either Bonkers 1 or 2 and are the same version of that tune. believe me, since I got both Bonkers 1 & 2 a couple of years ago now, I have treasured them coz i know they are very rare now, and I know that all the tunes on Sy's mix are the versions off either 1 or 2. Soz Sy!

I also own all Bonkers 1-7 (I got them every time they came out from the first in 1996) + The Rezurection. And Yes on second listen most tunes are the same as the ones on Bonkers 1 & 2 however "Toytown" is different because it's the none vocal version which only appeared on Bonkers 3.

No the club has nothing to do with the "Bonkers" Compilations.
If you want to know more about the Bonkers cd's go to www.react-music.co.uk

Matt, I think he realises that it's not HMV's fault for the skipping error, although they are crap because they will not recognise the problem and rectify it - bad customer service.
