Hi,
I worked at EMI Swindon from 1990 to it’s closure in 2002 and was fortunate to be issued with one of these discs with my name printed on it. Mine is numbered 662,930,457. Regarding the ‘unplayable’ disc, these were again issued framed with the employers name on a plaque.
Thanks for commenting Kevin. That’s a great piece to have!
