no..you aren't the only one...i do concur.

its a rather nice scent though, especially the booklet. also agree that its like a nearly fruity smell.

(best 4 pounds iv ever spent for a brand new copy in hmv biggrin - great music and lovely smell)

HAHAHA! Awesome Post -- I thought I was crazy for thinking it had a unique smell - and would never have thought everyone else felt the same. To me, it smelled like "French Toast Crunch" cereal lol! hilarious.

The only thing about Emancipation that smells is some of the songs. confused About a disc's worth, at last count.

I tried smelling my copy, but I didn't smell anything.
So then, I began whiffing around isolated parts of the cd, & when I got the hole in the middle, the goddamn thing farted in my face!

Truth be told,
what I really smell around here is a set-up!
mad

LOL less than that I fear. I got them for £2 each about 3 years ago/ I actually bought 4. I gave them to my friends who were fans too and couldn't find the Cd's in Ireland anymore. They are still wrapped as I don't play cds anymore. All my music is on iTunes on my lappie. 2869 Prince tracks at last count.

it does smell indeed
this is not a marketing tool but depends where it was manufactured
my Iron Maiden Fear Of the Dark cd has EXACTLY the same smell ;-p
and at least one other cd in my collection i do not remember right now
