In some of my searches for various CD's I have also heard this (I think from
one of the Laury's salesmen). Supposedly this got a lot of press in the
trade magazines about 4-6 weeks ago. I have also heard (and I forget the
source) that the CBS/Sony CD plant in Indiania is having severe quality
control problems and at least at one point was throwing away 70% of their
production due to manufacturing defects. Does anyone out in netland have any
further details or references?
