A little query about a selection on a Diamond Disc I 'rescued' from a nearby shop.

The catalogue number is 80121-L, "Soldiers' Chorus" from 'Faust'; the matrix number is 2349-C. When I looked it up on the DD spreadsheet, it was listed as "finally rejected".

What does this term mean? It cannot mean that it was not issued… or is there an error in the spreadsheet?

Good question, I have often wondered what "finally rejected" means, myself. I also wonder what the exclamation points mean. It appears that only the discs marked (ni) were never issued. The last time I looked, I had no luck with finding a key for the abbreviations used in the truesound spreadsheet.
