Bought this yesterday for the equivalent of ?2.
Its JT's pic, the track titles are certainly ones he has recorded but it ain't him singing them. And it wasn't being sold in a carboot sale.

This sort of thing use to happen years ago with the old vinyl but mainly on LPs, they would put a certain stars photo on the sleeve but it would be a different singer and it was all legal they would save a fortune on royaltys and sell at a massive discount and you could buy these records in woolworths and other well known shops i dont know if this is the same sort of thing that you have bought but if it looks cheap then it pays to read the label rather than just go by the photo.

and very annoying is when they put in very small print on a cd,these tracks have been rerecorded.

I once bought a copy of 'Thriller' and it had some guy from Barnsley singing on it.
