Albums with CD-Text?

Has anyone ever come across a commercial CD that has CD-text?

Back when I used images with cue sheets, I encountered a few, many of which were by Epic/Sony if I remember correctly. Some of them had the metadata formatted badly and/or redundantly, e.g. the album title formatted as "Artist - Title", every track suffixed with "(Album Version)", etc. In such cases I usually left it as it was for archival, whereas I normally [re]tag all my files fairly neatly (e.g. capitalisation, version info in []s, etc.)

I have a couple of them.
For example, Steve Vai's Flex-Able Leftovers. And it's Epic/Sony release.
They didn't bother to put even a CD digital audio logo somewhere on the cover, not to mention CD-Text logo, or any note that this data is present on the CD.

Perhaps it was copy-protected. Many (maybe all) such methods cause the CD to violate the Red Book standard, and thus be forbidden to bear its logo.

I don't think either are ever included. I doubt many people care anyway; I don't think CD-Text is widely written or readable, or noticed when present.

Michael Jackson - Invincible (Austrian Pressing) has text but its all in CAPITALS
Michael Jackson - Thriller (2001 Special Edition but it has to be the Vinyl Classics series where the CD has a fake vinyl cover) has perfect CD Text.

Thats all I've discovered so far.
