I was wondering what others thought of the use of CDRs for commercial releases. I know the evil empire of Celtic Music has been heavily criticised for such practice, but I was amazed (and a little dischuffed) to order "The Waifs" CDs from Amazon and find they were CDRs.

They play fine on all my CD players and look and sound professional, but it is a little surprising given the amount of air play they have had through 2003. It was claimed (and I can believe it from the quality of their music) that they were the big hit of Cambridge after all. Can they really be selling so few CDs as to be unable to justify a "proper" pressing?

I also have a practical interest since we are about to press a CD!

All the best
