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.
