A mini CD should not be confused with the MiniDisc. This little guy will play in most older CD players, but I&#8217;m scared to stick into the side of this iMac without an adapter. And I haven&#8217;t seen one of those adapter rings in years.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if we paid for this, I hope not, but it&#8217;s on Beggar&#8217;s Banquet which probably means we bought it for the record store we had at the time. I was long over The Cult when this came out in 1989, but the cool package must have convinced to keep it. That&#8217;s not working now though. I think this is only the second time the disc has been out of the cover, and some of the ink stuck to the plastic.<\/p>\n<p>There are three songs: &#8220;Fire Woman,&#8221; the big hit from the <em>Sonic Temple<\/em> record; &#8220;Automatic Blues,&#8221; a fun riff rocker that&#8217;s awfully similar to Zeppelin&#8217;s &#8220;Black Dog&#8221; (I was toggling between the two and Mary didn&#8217;t realize they were different); &#8220;Messin&#8217; up the Blues,&#8221; an acoustic blues shout out to every American roots rock musician you can think of. That last one is painfully long and cheesy even by The Cult standards.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fire_Woman\" target=\"_blank\">The dope on Fire Woman<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mini_CD\" target=\"_blank\">All about the mini CD<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is something you don&#8217;t see every day: a mini CD by The Cult packaged in something similar to a checkbook cover.
