the downside of on-line....

ok, so now that i am taking stock of all i have ordered for the youngest and only child to be at home for xmas.....i noted with horror that what i thought was a cardboard stabilizer at the bottom of the box was an LP....rather than a cd that i had ordered.....wtf?......why on earth would that have been a choice that came up with a search on amazon for a relatively new cd?.....i had this happen once with audio rather than cd's of a book....must pay more attention to these potential spoilers.....and obviously, must return the conundrum LP
