Thanks, Guy. Unfortunately the damage goes right the way into the centre of the CD, and it refuses to open.

I have started another thread

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=786144.new#new

specifically about the CDs and dare I use the remaining 3, despite the Temporary CD Burn window opening each time I want to use them.

From replies, it looks as if its an error in finshing the Cds (I don't know what this entails) so I have emailed the FHS again and hope for an answer soon.

Can anyone explain about labelling data CDs?

I read that its not a good idea to stick labels on CDs but, whenever I buy them from FHSs, they're obviously labelled as to which parishes are covered on it. Do the FHSs stick these labels on themselves or is their a professional way of doing it?

I ask because my query over the above faulty Cds has not yet been resolved and the only answer so far seems to be that they were part of an old batch and the labels had faulty adhesive! I'm confused as to the conflicting actions/advice i.e. do OR don't use adhesive labels.

What about doing a copy of your CD's and keep the originals safe.
Some FHS do a laser print out onto the actual disc.

Some of the originals are faulty - one in particular is unusable.

Do you mean that they laser print the 'label' onto the disc? If so, this is what has not happened with these latest CDs - the labels have come loose and on one, has come away after just one use and taken a lot of the CD with it.

I'm just trying to be sure of my facts before I start arguing as, so far, there's been no offer of replacements.

Some CD have the disc contents printed onto the disc.
Labels can be very troublesome as you have found, certainly advise your supplier your not happy!
