Funny - I just ordered both part 1 and 2 a couple of weeks ago, and I
haven't even received them yet (the tracking link says it was shipped last
Tuesday) but I got an email today from Kristin at Solid Rock saying they
were shipping me a replacement due to some technical problems. I guess they
had a bad batch.

I also had the same problem with the disc I received from Solid Rock.
Sounds like they may have a manufacturing issue.
