In order to meet the sometimes impossible lead times of press we have no
choice but to bang out some CDR advances of our records. We admit it's not
glamorous and sometimes they're more susceptible to defects than a proper
pressing of the release, but hey that's the only way we can swing it
sometimes. Some people work on 3-4 month lead times. It's a pretty lofty
assumption that we're even close to being so organised as to have all parts
for a new release that far ahead.
