As previously reported, a few minor mistakes have been found in the packaging of Ross's legendary 'My Name Means Horse' album - recently released on CD by Aztec Records. And because Aztec is committed to correcting these errors in the next production run, the existing version has already become a collectors' item!

Read our special report:

Put Your Grandchildren Through College.

Thus, Coathanger is running the 'Hosre Competition' to help Aztec track down any potential, residual errors. To take part, here's all you have to do:

1. Buy the CD or find some one who owns a copy.
2. Carefully remove red sticker and put it temporarily aside.
3. Remove shrink-wrap.
4. Re-affix red sticker to cover.
5. Meticulously study packaging.
6. Send us a list of anything untoward that you may find.

And feel free to be as nit-picking as you like. Obviously we're looking for factual and design errors; but also for spelling mistakes; mangled grammar; split infinitives, laboured metaphors; overuse of semicolons; and so on.

Originality and humour will also score a limited number of Brownie points - but don't overdo it.

Obviously we've already found a few snafus but we'll leave you the excitement of discovering them for yourselves. However, one very rare error worth mentioning is that a few copies went out that in fact didn't include a CD. These copies, by far, will someday be the most valuable ... unless of course the shrink-wrapping has been removed.

We suggest x-raying all copies that you purchase.

The winner will be whoever comes up with the most confirmable errors as determined by Coathanger's illustrious judging panel - as yet unappointed. The prize will be an exclusive monster Ross Ryan package of whatever we can find lying around exclusively in our office cupboards and drawers. Needless to say, it will be a really exclusive and utterly collectable prize!
