I'm with Dick on this one.

Here in the US many small companies do short-runs of CDs on CD-R. The sound quality is identical. I've done it myself, and all of us who do so will guarantee the CD-R for life (that's your life, not the CD-R's :-) If it fails, send it back for replacement. I've nevver had one returned. I've had the occasional bad pressing of "real" CDs, occasionally even a CD with the wrong music - God knows how _that_ got there), but no failed CD-Rs.

I'm sorry Mr Bulmer shows so little respect for the music he owns that he has to do a poor LP transfer. But if he'd taken that same master and had a thousand CDs pressed, they would have sounded the same.
