Shaped CDs
MOUG Newsletter no. 74 (November 1999) p. 12 and was reprinted in
"Cataloger's Judgment as Q&A 2.56:
Question: I recently purchased a "shaped" CD, the shape of which isn't the
standard 4 3/4 in. circle, and it got me to thinking about how these things should
be described. How do you reflect its dimensions in the 300 $c? Would you still
give its diameter in inches (as for any other sound recording), or would you use
centimeters? The container mentions that this type of disc is "Not playable in CD
changer or car CD player.“ Would you put this information in a 538 note, or just a
standard 500? The disc is (very) roughly triangular in shape. At its widest, the
CD's diameter is about 4 1/2 in. The disc (for want of a better term) is an
interview CD featuring the British heavy metal group Iron Maiden. It was
published in 1997 by Sonotec for their Private Talks line, manufactured by Cuba
GmbH, Berlin (in fact, they've trademarked the term "Shape CD"), and distributed
by DA Music, Germany. The disc itself features a lineup picture of the band with
their cadaverous mascot "Eddie" looming over them. The CD is shaped so that it's
broad at the bottom and tapers off towards the top. For fans of "Star Trek: Deep
Space 9," it looks very much like a top-down silhouette of the USS Reliant*. (How
do you like that for an analogy?). The digital information itself is still in circular
rings, but takes up only 1/2 to 3/4s of the disc's surface. For an actual picture of
this "disc" (as well as others), take a look at the following Web site:
http://members.xoom.com/shapecdclub/shapecat9.htm (mine is in the upper
left corner of Seite 9).
*Actually, it was the USS Defiant.
Answer: Presumably, even though the shape is a bit odd, the CD is still designed
to play in most standard CD players (with the exceptions noted). That means that
its widest diameter should still be considered the standard 4 3/4 in. and should be
so described in the 300 subfield $c (not that 6.5D2 gives us much choice in the
matter). I am guessing that the actual playing surface (with the pits and spaces to
be read by the laser) remains circular within the odd shape. In accordance with
6.7B10, try to describe the physical shape, perhaps something like:
500
Disc is roughly triangular in shape.
Optionally, as you describe the shape, you could also describe the illustration and
how it defines the shape of the CD, for example:
500 Disc is roughly triangular in shape, with portrait of the band across
the base and its mascot Eddie at the apex.
If the term "Shape CD" appears on the item, it would be a logical quoted note
(500). Additionally, include the statement about the disc not being playable in
certain types of machines, either in quoted form or in paraphrase, whichever is
appropriate. I think this note fits into the definition of, and could properly be
coded as, 538. One also wonders if this is some sort of limited or otherwise
special edition, with a standard round disc also being available. If there is some
indication of that on the item, you can transcribe an edition statement or optionally
formulate one as per 6.2B3.
