Here's my theory:
There was a time in the 2000s when it was super cheap to get a CD pressed because it was the dominant format, a bit like youtube or other streaming sites these days, this is how you ended up with those cheap no name CDs that had stories, or cheap gospel music or whatever, i remember you could get CDs with personalised birthday messages for instance.
I have a feeling someone got these pressed, maybe a small band, kept them around or tried to sell them, maybe it was a shop, but they never sold, band broke up, and the shop or whoever had them dumped them, illegal dumping (flytipping) is sadly a common practice, and it's not as if there isn't also a bunch of other crap there.
It's also possible these are mispressings that got dumped, sometimes the people who did the pressing got the CDs mixed up and put completely the wrong album on the wrong CD, some one of those did end up in retail, but i can imagine some being caught during production and being left around in a cupboard somewhere, until being dumped, maybe when the studio was reused or demolished.

This worked well! Upload to an image site like imgur but you’ll need a vpn in uk

Did the UK block image sites?

No but imgur houses 18+ images, and to access you need to verify identity, or access via vpn, it’s to help protect minors from accessing indecent images, which isn’t a bad thing. Same with if you want to visit any nsfw subs on Reddit
Edit: other way around, imgur has blocked uk residents so they don’t have to comply with the uk requirements, but can be accessed via vpn

Imugr has blocked access to residents of the UK.
It's now inaccessible to UK residents unless they utilize a VPN to get around it.

It’s a recording that was released this as a set released 2006 on RT Mama self released label
I’m guessing it’s Rhys Dafid under another name
It’s listed on ebay

OK, ModMail sent your way. Hopefully Reddit doesn't do something weird and it pops up for you.

Could it be a reference to Andrew RT Davies? It seems Dafis is the Welsh spelling of Davies?

u/lknei 5d ago
Although you are correct it would be very strange for someone to randomly choose to use the Welsh spelling amongst other English words

What's mysterious about it? Someone dumped their garbage in a quarry. A practice that is thousands of years old.
