[Thor Joachim Haga]

I don’t have a lot of original CDs afflicted by this, thankfully. But I remember the old 80s pressing of Rozsa’s THE THIEF OF BAGDAD/THE JUNGLE BOOK CD having issues, especially towards the end in the JUNGLE BOOK suite, with a lot of skipping around. I can’t see it in my collection anymore, so I must have managed to unload it on someone who was fine with these issues. Or maybe I threw it in the bin. The almost-as-old pressing of MUSIC FROM ALFRED HITCHCOCK FILMS was fine, but that — too — seems to have disappeared from my collection.

But the CD-Rs are a another matter. I have at least 30-40 CD-Rs in my collection, I think, and I’m curious about what their status is now. I did play my CD-R of Williams’ THE KILLERS a few days ago, and that was okay. WAGON TRAIN wasn’t, as previously noted. It seems almost random.
