Was this disc pressed by PDO? If so, it may be victim to a real but isolated phenomenom called "disc rot". First sign is a reddish discoloration at the edges of the label side of the CD. PDO will replace these CDs free of charge. You need not send the CD, just write down all the alphanumeric codes from the inside circle and request a replacement. I do not have PDO's address handy, but you want to send to the PDO Helpline at the offices in Blackburn, Lancs., England. Discs that are susceptible to this problem were manufactured at one PDO plant over a period of a few months. Nobody seems to have a good explanation, and the problem is mysterious, as not all batches are affected, nor all discs in a batch. --Mark __ http://www.xnet.com/~mkolmar/BurningRome "Two people making same kind of music is one music too many." -- John Cage On Tue, 10 Sep 1996, Jezz Brookes wrote:
