About this product
This is the North American compact disc of The Invisible Invasion, the 2005 album by the English rock band the Coral, produced by Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley of Portishead and first released in the UK on Deltasonic on 23 May 2005.[3] MusicBrainz lists this barcode as a US Copy Control CD on Columbia and Deltasonic, catalogue number CK 94747, released on 23 August 2005 with 12 tracks and now marked withdrawn.[1] In November 2005 the Electronic Frontier Foundation confirmed that the Columbia edition carried XCP,[4] the First 4 Internet copy-protection software whose rootkit set off the Sony BMG scandal, and Sony BMG recalled the affected titles.[5][3]
