A question about censored CDs

[swayinOtis]

I bought a used CD on half.com. It was labeled [PA] which I took to mean Parental Advisory. They had the same CD with [EDITED] which I took to mean it was censored. I got the [PA] CD today. It has the Parental Advisory label on it, but on one song, the one song I bought the fool CD for, it's censored all to hell.

I'm confused. What's the difference between [PA] and [EDITED], and how can I get the uncensored version?

Thanks

I think even if the CD is edited, it has the PA label on it (it's usually part of the album art). If you want the unedited version, you just have to stick to stores (ie: not walmart) that has them.

are all the other songs censored. Eminem's second cd had a song that was censored on the non-censored version because of legal crap. have you heard the uncensored version of the song before?

How do you know, then if it's censored or not? That's all I want to know.

yeah, the other songs are censored, and yes, i have heard the uncensored versions before. i heard the uncensored song on bearshare. that's why i bought the album.

the song is called "Nowhere To Run" by Ozzy, DMX, ODB and The Chrystal Method. It's from the South Park Soundtrack for Chef Aid if you want to check it out.

did you buy it brand new from half.com? if it was opened it doesn't take a rocket scientist to change the cd in the jewel case, and say it is the unedited when it is the edited. get what i am saying? just because the cd cover has a PA on it doesn't mean the cd inside will be unedited (if the cd isn't sealed from the factory). oh and btw i used to work at a record store and we would on occasion get cd's that were labeled as unedited but the actually cd is edited. regardless we always would allow the cd to be exchanged (for the unedited one) if you purchase the wrong one without realizing it as long as you have your receipt.
