[net.audio] Truth in labeling

I was in my local record store yesterday and picked up a copy of
Chronicle by Creedence Clearwater Revival.  I was pleased to see that
the record companies are finally taking advantage of the extended play
time of the CD.  Chronicle runs over 68 minutes in length (and is
usually supplied on 2 LPs), but was packaged and priced as a single CD.
The problem is: I opened the package, and there, displayed in big
black letters is the code "DDD".  Clearly this is an error, multitrack
digital recording was not too popular in the mid 60s to early 70s when
the tracks on this record were set down.  Isn't there a law against
such blatent mislabeling?
