Seven Year Ache is the third studio album by American country music singer Rosanne Cash, and her second for Columbia Records. It was released on February 28, 1981, and reached number one on the Billboard country album chart.[6] Three singles were released from her album; in the order of the singles' release they were: the title track, My Baby Thinks He's a Train, and Blue Moon with Heartache.
The album was mastered a few days following the murder of John Lennon. As a tribute to Lennon, Cash asked the mastering engineer to scratch the message “Goodbye, John” into the run-out groove of the mother vinyl. This etching was limited to the first 25,000 copies of the album.[citation needed]
The CD was reissued in 2005 in an edition which was part of the American Milestone series from Sony BMG, which later identified the reissue as being among the 52 CD titles that were deemed to have been shipped with Extended Copy Protection (XCP) computer software.[7][8] As a result, all Microsoft Windows computer that were used to play the reissue are likely to have had XCP installed. This can cause a number of serious security problems. Several security software vendors, including Microsoft, regard XCP as a trojan horse, spyware, or rootkit.[9] Sony discontinued use of the technology on November 11, 2005,[10] and recalled this and other titles affected by XCP, and asked customers to submit copies affected by the software to the company so that it could replace them with copies that did not contain the software.[11]
