The UK uses a different broadcast format, and you cannot use their tapes here and vice versa. It is possible to get them converted, but it is expensive and a nuisance. Is it possible the CD was defective? I'd try writing to the label or manufacturer to see...if you bought it at one of the big west end record shops (HMV, Virgin, Tower), you could probably send it back. PJ
