#i just. how do you mess up a cd printing so badly that the entire 2015 printing contains a whole different album's tracks

[needs-more-duck]

my white whale is Delta Rae's 2012 album Carry The Fire, which I have for years been trying to get my hands on. I have purchased this CD three times from my local record store, only for the CD to actually contain Delta Rae's 2015 album After It All, which is incidentally my favorite album of all time, and which I technically own in three copies, two of which are Carry The Fire.

I keep my digital library in FLAC files, because disk space is cheap and lossless formats are for whatever value of forever we can claim to access in the digital era. With a CD, this is easy--I just rip the CD as FLAC files, and then I have my physical CD and my lossless digital tracks. BUT. I have not been able to find this album purchasable in FLAC format anywhere.

My next and only hope is that someone selling a copy on ebay or equivalent can vouch that their Carry The Fire CD does actually contain 2012 album Carry The Fire (and not After It All).

I have been chasing this for years. My sanity has slipped through my fingers like a particularly squirmy set of earthworms and is grubbling about sadly in the dirt. It's not pretty. I'm not being brave about it at all. Carry The Fire CD, why do you elude me so :(
